AGARTALA, March 18 (TIWN): Tripura rooted terror suspect Habib Mia was produced before the Agartala court on Saturday. A four member team has arrived in Tripura and reportedly, they will take them to Bengaluru by Saturday itself. With his arrest tension has gripped NE state Tripura for further terror threats in state. The Karnataka Anti Terror Squad (ATS) on Friday arrested a suspect here having links with the 2005 terror attack at Bengaluru's Indian Institute of Science (IIS), police said. "The Karnataka ATS personnel, with the help of Tripura Police, arrested terror suspect Habib Mia, 37, from Jogendranagar on the outskirts of Agartala," a senior Tripura Police official told IANS on condition of anonymity. He said: "He was wanted in connection with the militant attack on IIS at Bengaluru in 2005. He would be presented in a local court here on Saturday to avail transit remand to take Mia to Bengaluru for further action." A retired Mathematics professor, Munish Chandra Puri, was killed and four others, including a woman, were seriously injured in the IIS attack.
Eyewitness accounts earlier maintained that it was carried out by a lone gunman in Army fatigues, who used an AK-47 rifle and hand grenades. All important cities in southern states were put on high alert in the aftermath of the terror attack. The attack took place in the evening of December 28, 2005 as delegates were attending the 38th annual convention of Operational Research Society of India (ORSI).
Although, Tripura Govt claimed that there is no Terror threat in Tripura since 2 yrs, but state is majorly suffering from various NLFT, ISIS threats and Habib Mia's arrest is a lesson to Tripura DGP K Nagraj and his police force who often attempt to sustain the public saying 'Tripura is a peaceful state'.
Habib will be taken to Bengaluru under Sadashiv Police Station there.
