Police looking for Udupi man Aditya Rao in Mangaluru Airport explosives case?
Mangaluru: Mangaluru Police investigating the explosives found at the ticket counter of Mangaluru International Airport on Monday has reportedly zeroed down on the suspect.
According to information, Aditya Rao (40), who is a resident of Manipal in Udupi District is on the police radar in the investigation and that two teams have been formed to trace him. Although the police have officially not confirmed the reports, it is believed that Aditya has emerged as their main suspect in the case.
Aditya has a criminal history and was arrested in August 2018 for making threat calls at the Kempegowda International Airport and Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station in Bengaluru claiming that bombs were planted at the two spots. He was sent to jail in the case.
An Engineering and MBA Graduate, Aditya had allegedly applied for the job of security personnel at the Bengaluru Airport. It was then alleged that he made the hoax calls to avenge his non-selection for the applied position.
Reports further add that the investigating team has matched the face of suspect’s CCTV image and Aditya Rao while also matching his voice samples of the calls made by Aditya to Bengaluru Airport and the call received by Mangaluru Airport authorities on Monday.
The police is also reportedly investigating the involvement of another person in the case suspecting that another person arrived at the airport before Aditya and checked the positions of CCTV cameras and gave a blueprint of the camera positions which might have helped Aditya to avoid getting caught clearly by any of the cameras at the airport.
The investigating teams are probing the matter from various angles and have so far questioned various people and have also interrogated the auto-driver who was hired by the suspect to reach the airport. Police have also called on people to help the investigation if they have any inputs or information regarding the case.
A team of Mangaluru Police also reportedly visited Manipal, assisted by the local police, visited Aditya’s house in Manipal where they failed to find any clue about him and locals informed them that Aditya’s mother had passed away and his father lives in Mangaluru.
The police team then tried to look for Aditya at Udupi bus stops and lodgings but was unable to get any traces of him before returning back to Mangaluru in the evening.

Congress 'wants to give property of your children to Muslims': Union Minister Anurag Thakur
Hamirpur: Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Saturday said the hand of foreign powers is visible with the hand of the Congress in its manifesto which “wants to give property of your children to the Muslims”.
“It is for the public to decide that your property should go to your children or the Muslims. We have given equal rights to the Muslims from toilets, to houses to gas cylinders to food but not in the name of religion,” Thakur said addressing a gathering in Hamirpur.
The BJP leader said the Congress wants to divide the country on the basis of religion and region.
The tukde tukde gang has taken over the mindset of the Congress and it is for the public to decide that they want to support the forces dividing the country or uniting the country, he said.
“I want to ask Congress leader Rahul Gandhi that when Rajiv Gandhi became the prime minister of the Country, there was a rule that 55 per cent of property of former prime minister Indira Gandhi would go to the government treasury but Rajiv Gandhi changed the law to save his property,” he alleged.
Thakur said India has progressed under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and has become stronger in the world. It is now the duty of all party workers to extend their helping hand to Modi by sending all the four MP’s from the state and also to elect the six MLAs where bye-elections will be held on June 1, he added.
The BJP leader said Prime Minister Modi has given 33 per cent reservation to women which is a big achievement in itself, adding women have not been given proper respect during the 55 years of Congress party.
