In connection with the Mangaluru blast case, the Enforcement Directorate carried out searches at various locations in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka.
Searches were conducted at the houses of suspected terrorists, including Mohammed Shariq, the main accused in the 19 November pressure cooker blast in an autorickshaw in Mangaluru, Home Minister Araga Jnanendra said on Wednesday.
“ED officials are in the area where the houses of suspected terrorists Shariq, Maz Muneer, and Mateen are located in Thirthahalli (Shivamogga). Their houses are being searched. Officers are also collecting information from neighbouring houses,” Jnanendra said.
A moving autorickshaw exploded on 19 November last year triggered by a bomb in a pressure cooker that led to unravelling of a terror plot aimed at fuelling communal tensions in the coastal region and in the state, police had said.
Shariq, who was carrying a pressure cooker bomb made of IEDs, and Purushottam Poojari, the autorickshaw driver, were injured in the blast.
When the explosion occurred, Shariq was on his way to a predetermined location to carry out the blast. The Forensic Science Laboratory Division (FSL) team reached the house rented by Shariq in Mysore the next day and recovered materials used to make explosives.
