In a significant development in the Bengaluru cafe blast case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has apprehended two key suspects, Abdul Mateen and Mussavir Hussain, from West Bengal. The arrests were made following a breakthrough that revealed the duo had been following a specific pattern for 42 days before their capture. The mastermind behind the blast, identified as Abdul Mateen, along with Mussavir Hussain, who planted the improvised explosive device (IED), were found hiding near Kolkata and were arrested. Investigations have uncovered that the plotter was involved with the ISIS Bengaluru module, and the arrested individuals were inspired by ISIS, receiving funds from handlers abroad through cryptocurrency transactions exceeding Rs.3 lakh. The operation was a joint effort by the NIA and West Bengal Police, countering claims that West Bengal has become a safe haven for terrorists. The accused were tracked using various methods, including their transactions and movements, and were found staying in a hideout in Kolkata. They are to be produced in a Kolkata court following their arrest. This case has sparked a political debate, with BJP and TMC exchanging accusations over the handling and implications of the situation.
