Karnataka police arrests 'suspected terrorist' in Bihar, Nitish takes umbrage

May 8, 2012

Darbhanga/Patna, May 8: The Karnataka police have arrested a suspected terrorist from Bihar's Darbhanga district, prompting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to raise objection against the unilateral police action.

The police team from Karnataka arrested Kafil Ahmed from Barasmela village two days ago in connection with the 2010 Chinnaswamy Stadium twin blasts, Superintendent of Police Garima Malik said.

Fifteen people were injured when two low-intensity bombs exploded outside a packed Chinnaswamy cricket stadium on April 17, 2010.

"The Karnataka police did not contact the local police nor informed us about the arrest of Ahmed," the SP said, adding that the Darbhanga police came to know about the arrest of the suspected terrorist from his family.

In Patna, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said, "The Karnakata police has brazenly violated an established law about giving prior information to the local police about arrest of a person from its jurisdiction." The Bihar DGP has lodged a strong protest with his Karnataka counterpart, Kumar told reporters.

The chief minister said that he had sought a report from the Darbhanga SP and on the basis of it, a formal protest will be lodged with the Karnataka government and the Union Home Ministry.

In a significant development, a special court tasked with handling cases against Members of Parliament and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MP/MLAs) has ordered that a First Information Report (FIR) be filed regarding the Muda case.

Additionally, the Karnataka Lokayukta, which is an anti-corruption body, has been tasked with investigating allegations against Siddaramaiah, who is reportedly involved in the case.

The court instructed the Lokayukta (an anti-corruption authority) to provide a report within three months. It also ordered the relevant authorities to file a First Information Report (FIR) regarding the case.

Judge Santhosh Gajanan Bhat issued the directive, compelling the Mysuru Lokayukta police to commence an investigation following a formal complaint lodged by Snehamayi Krishna.

The Karnataka Lokayukta in Mysuru is required to carry out the investigation under Section 156 (3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, which mandates the registration of a First Information Report (FIR).
