Bangalore: In the Mangaluru blast case of Karnataka, the Central Investigation Agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken major action on Wednesday (January 11). There is news that ED has raided 5 places in Karnataka. These include the house of the main accused Shariq located in Shivamogga. The special thing is that the Congress party's angle has also come to the fore in the ED's guerilla action in the blast case.

ED officials reached Tirthahalli Situation Complex. This building located at Sopa Gudda belongs to Shariq's father. Congress has also taken office on rent in the same complex. According to a media report, the Congress office was taken on lease from the family of Mangaluru auto rickshaw blast accused Mohammad Shariq. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had arrested Majin Abdul Rehman and Nadeem Ahmed a day earlier in the ISIS conspiracy case.

An agreement was reached between the father of accused Mohammad Shariq and Naveen, a relative of Congress leader Kimane Ratnakar. It is reported that Rs 10,000 per month was being paid as rent for this office. The current contract expires in June 2023 and Kimane has already demanded the return of the security deposit of Rs 10 lakh. The investigating agency has also questioned the Congress leader. Along with this, a copy of the contract has also been sought, after which Ratnakar presented the documents related to the office.

What is Mangalore Blast Case:-

The cooker blast in Mangaluru, Karnataka is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). In the investigation so far, it has been found that the accused Mohammed Shariq was planning a terrorist attack in Mangaluru on the one hand, while on the other hand, he was also trying to implement the Caliphate's rule in India with the help of the terrorist organization ISIS. Mohammed Shariq had also given training to 40 people like him.

As per reports, Mohd Shariq is a resident of Shopugudde in Tirtali town of Shimoga district. In the small Shopugudde village, there are 5 suspected terrorists living here within a radius of just 100 meters. The names of these terrorists have been mentioned as Mohammed Shariq, Abdul Matin Hai, Maaz Munir, Syed Yasin, and Arafat Ali. After the arrest of Shariq, there is an atmosphere of tension in the entire area. According to a report, Shariq's aunt told the media that Shariq always used to restrain the women of the house. They were not allowed to talk to Hindus. The terrorist's aunt told that in February 2020, Shariq and his companions had a role in the slogans written on the walls of Shivamogga in support of terrorist organizations Lashkar and ISIS. At that time, his father got Shariq released on bail and sent him to Bangalore and Udupi.

Shariq's aunt says that after returning from there, Shariq often used to do namaz, worship, and talk about Allah. Earlier his beard was short, but on his return, he started growing it too. Whenever he was asked for Nikah, he used to give the same answer every time, 'Mera Toh Sab Kuch Allah Hai'. Will do something that I will get 72 Hurors in heaven, that is my real world.'

Shariq's aunt further told, 'Seeing such actions of him, we used to think that he is more in Deen (Islam). But we did not know that he would do all this. We have to live with everyone in society, it has made it so that we are not even able to show our faces to anyone. There is no talk of taking someone's life in Islam, it is a crime. Don't know after listening to whom he has done all this.' After watching the CCTV footage, Shariq's relatives believe that the police arrested him and saved his life, otherwise he could have been killed for what he did. She also informed that Shariq was in contact with ISIS terrorist Abdul Mateen for a long time. But no one knew what both used to do together.

Mohammed Shariq had also stolen the Aadhaar card of a Hindu named Prem Raj Hatgi to carry out the terrorist attack. He had filled so much explosives in the cooker that the whole bus could have been blown up by it. According to a report, maps of Hindu temples and children's festivals have been recovered in the search of his hideouts. At the same time, a video of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik was also found on his mobile. Let us tell you that many terrorists have said that they have become radicalized after watching Zakir Naik's video.
