Bangalore, February 10: Karnataka today opposed granting bail to PDP leader Abdul Nasser Madani, an accused in the 2008 serial bomb blasts that rocked the city, charging that the accused “masterminded” the explosions.
Opposing the bail application, state’s Advocate General Ashok Haranahally submitted in the High Court that the accused had links with members of terror groups including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).
“It would not be safe to grant bail to such a person who is involved in terror activities as already most witnesses in the case are being threatened,” Haranahally pleaded.
The accused appears to have masterminded the blasts as he was not only involved in the conspiracy but was in constant touch with other accused, some of who are alleged to be LeT members and was continuously monitoring what was happening, the prosecution argued.
“It just cannot be believed at that he was not involved in the conspiracy.
