gblastBelagavi, Jun 21: Nasir Rangrez (38), the key accused in the 2008 serial bomb blasts in Ahmedabad, was picked up by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) from Belagavi with the help of the local police on Sunday.

According to DCP (Crime and Traffic) Amarnath Reddy, the ATS team headed by Inspector Bhavesh arrested Rangrez from his house at Bhadkal Galli, where he had been living with his family for the past 3-4 years.

The 21 serial bomb blasts, which rocked the Gujarat capital on July 26, 2008, claimed 56 lives and left more than 200 injured.

Sources said Rangrez had shifted his base after the blasts and had settled with his wife and two daughters in Belagavi. The family was eking out a living by making chapattis and distributing them to restaurants. Rangrez used to drive an autorickshaw, and supply chapattis to hotels in a two-wheeler.

Sources said Rangrez carried out the blasts to avenge the post-Godhra riots.

New Delhi, Mar 4: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed a trial court in Ramanagara district of Karnataka to ensure the presence of absconding self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda to face trial in a 2010 rape case.

A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde also allowed a plea by K Lenin alias Nithya Dharmananda, former driver of Nithyananda and had filed a complaint against Nithyananda, for cancellation of non-bailable warrants issued against him.

The apex court ordered the cancellation of the non-bailable warrants issued against the complainant in the case on the condition he shows up before the trial court in Ramanagara district today itself.

He had challenged the Karnataka High Court's February order where non-bailable warrants were issued against Lenin for not appearing before the court for recording evidence.

"Having heard the counsel appearing for the petitioner and upon perusal of the record, we see no reason to interfere with the judgment and order passed by the High Court, which merely directs the petitioner to give evidence in support of his complaint," read the apex court order passed on Tuesday.

The Bench also directed that "the concerned trial court shall make every effort to ensure the presence of accused (Nithyananda) to face the proceedings."

The Karnataka High Court had last month cancelled the bail granted to Nithyananda, even as the state police claimed the absconding godman was on a 'spiritual tour'.

Nithyananda is facing charges of rape and indulging in unnatural sex. He was arrested on April 22, 2010, however, granted bail on June 11, the same year.
