Bangalore, January 5
The Bangalore police today claimed to have arrested a Pak-trained militant who had been planning to strike at Infosys and the International Airport. An AK-47 assault gun and a large quantity of arms and ammunition, including 47 magazines of AK-47 assault gun and 300 rounds of ammunition, have been seized from him.
The arrest was made at Jalahalli, on the outskirts of the city today. The militant, identified as Imran, alias Bilal (32), had boarded a bus from Bellary.
Additional Commissioner of Police Bipin Gopalkrishna said the militant, who was suspected to have links with the Lashkar-e-Toiba, was running a shop by the name of âKashmiri Handicraftsâ at Hospet, which was close to the Hampi monuments.
Some documents, a map of Bangalore, on which important places have been marked, and a satellite phone, along with sim cards, have also been seized from him. It indicates he might be on a mission, Mr Gopalkrishna added.
The police expects the arrest will throw some light on the case of firing at the Indian Institute of Science in December, 2005. It is taking the help of the Jammu and Kashmir Police to get details about the militant and his links.
