Gauri Lankesh Murder Probe Links to Malegaon Blast Suspects
Imagine some bad guys who did some blasts a while ago.
Now, the police are looking into the murder of a journalist named Gauri Lankesh.
While looking, they found out that some of the people who might have been involved in the blasts may have been connected to the murder, including some who taught others how to make bombs.
These bomb-making teachers were at secret camps, and the police have arrested some of the suspects.
The investigation suggests that these teachers might be linked to other terror cases and a right-wing group.
Names of two missing Malegaon blast accused surfaced during the probe into Gauri Lankesh's murder.
The accused are also wanted in the 2007 Hyderabad Mecca Masjid and 2007 Ajmer Sharif blast cases.
Training camps for making bombs were organized by a Sanatan Sanstha linked group between 2011 and 2017.
The missing men were suspected to be 'guest trainers' in the weapons training camps.
Suresh Nair, an Abhinav Bharat member, was identified as one of the trainers after his arrest in 2018.
