Karnataka Police on Saturday (August 2) arrested a man identified as an activist of SIMI and recovered three CDs with information on bomb-manufacturing and a cylinder filled with chemical gas from him. Tanvir Mulla, found moving in a suspicious manner at Indala tank, was arrested from Shingoli in Belgaum, Superintendent of Police Sonia Narang told reporters.

The CDs recovered from his residence at Kustunagar contained provocative speeches on Jehad, attack on Muslims in Gujarat, besides detailed information and sketches on bomb manufacturing, including chemical bombs, Narang said. The mini cylinder recovered from him by the police is believed to have been used for making cylinder bombs.

Tanvir confessed that he had plans to trigger explosions in one of the polling booths in Tilakwadi area in Belgaum during the assembly elections in May but could not execute it, Narang said.

His arrest from the Shingoli area near Belgaum follows the arrest of another suspected SIMI activist Liaquat Ali from the same area. He had links with terror suspects — Liyaqat Ali, Nasir Patel, Imtiaz and Dr Manroz — whom police had arrested a few months ago. They are currently lodged in Hindalga jail. Police have seized his passport.
