Rameshwaram Café blast conspiracy was brewed at Parappana Agrahara jail: NIA
National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials have uncovered a startling revelation regarding the conspiracy to orchestrate a blast at the Rameshwaram Café in Bengaluru, indicating that the plot was devised within the confines of Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. In connection with this revelation, Maaz Muneer, an individual previously implicated in the Shimoga trial blast and the Mangalore graffiti case, has been arrested.
Muneer, who was already incarcerated at the central jail, was apprehended from within the premises based on information provided by Muzammil Shareef, another suspect detained in Chikkamagaluru by the NIA. Following his arrest, Muneer was produced before the court via video conference and subsequently remanded to judicial custody again, according to sources within the NIA.
Following the blast at the Café, the NIA conducted raids at 18 locations across the country, including Parappana Agrahara, on March 5th. Muneer was taken into custody during these raids and interrogated for a period of eight days. However, due to his reluctance to divulge pertinent information during questioning, the NIA arrested Shareef in Chikkamagaluru based on circumstantial evidence. Shareef subsequently provided the NIA with comprehensive details regarding Muneer's involvement in the blast, leading to his re-arrest from the central jail.

Muneer, originally from Theerthahalli in Shimoga and an engineering graduate, was previously implicated in the Mangalore graffiti case reported in November 2020, for which he was later released on bail. However, he was again arrested in connection with the Shimoga trial blast case.
Notably, Muneer, along with Abdul Matheen Taha, was reportedly proficient in preparing Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and had provided training to other suspects. Musavvir Hussain Shazib, identified as the Rameshwaram Café bomber, was among those allegedly trained by Muneer and Taha, as per sources familiar with the investigation.

Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna suspended from JDS amid sex scandal allegations
Hassan: Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna has been suspended from the Janata Dal (Secular) or JD(S) following a controversy surrounding explicit videos allegedly depicting him engaging in sexual misconduct with multiple women. Prajwal Revanna, who represents Karnataka's Hassan constituency, has also been served a show cause notice by the party.
The scandal erupted when numerous explicit videos, purportedly involving Prajwal Revanna, surfaced on social media shortly after his constituency went to polls. The videos, allegedly filmed by Prajwal Revanna himself, were widely circulated within the Hassan constituency.
Adding fuel to the fire, a woman has filed a police complaint accusing Prajwal Revanna of sexually assaulting her multiple times between 2019 and 2022. She further alleged that Prajwal Revanna's father, HD Revanna, also engaged in sexual misconduct with her during a period when his wife was not at home.
Prajwal Revanna has vehemently denied these accusations, claiming that the circulated videos are fabricated. Despite his denial, he abruptly left for Germany soon after the videos surfaced online.
In response to mounting pressure, the Karnataka government has formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe the obscene videos case. This decision came following a recommendation by the state women's commission.
Meanwhile, BJP Leader Devaraje Gowda has claimed to possess evidence, including a pen drive containing explicit videos, allegedly implicating the HD Deve Gowda family, including Prajwal Revanna, in illicit activities.
