Yasin Bhatkal Appears in Court via Video in Mangaluru Case
Imagine a bad guy named Yasin Bhatkal, who is accused of planning to cause explosions in a city.
He's been in jail for other crimes.
Now, after a long time, he's appeared in court through a video call.
This is related to a case from 2008, where some people were accused of planning attacks.
Some were caught and punished already.
The police hope this new court appearance will help close the case.
They are trying to bring justice for the past events.

Bhatkal is currently incarcerated in Delhi's Tihar Jail for involvement in other terror attacks.
