Bengaluru, April 5: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has apprehended a Theerthahalli-based BJP worker, Saiprasad, in connection with the Rameshwaram Café blast case in Shivamogga.
Saiprasad, came under NIA custody due to his alleged association with individuals involved in the case. Last week, investigating officials conducted raids on the residences and mobile phone shops of two youngsters in Theerthahalli, with whom Saiprasad was purportedly in contact.
Saiprasad's involvement stems from the sale of a second-hand mobile phone to a suspect named Muzammil Shareef, who is currently held in judicial custody. Shareef allegedly passed on the mobile phone, along with a SIM card, to another suspect known as Musavir. Authorities suspect that this particular mobile phone might have been utilized by Musavir.
