BANGALORE: The Karnataka government will hold a high-level meeting on Tuesday to take stock of the situation in the wake of revelations about the alleged involvement of suspects from Bangalore in the foiled UK terror plot.
The meeting of senior police and home department officials, to be chaired by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, would debate vital leads gathered by cops and intelligence wings on the links of Kafeel Ahmed, who is suspected to have driven a burning jeep into the Glasgow airport, his brother Dr Sabeel Ahmed and their cousin Dr Mohammed Haneef, according to sources.
"Our police and intelligence wings have gathered several pieces of information so far in their investigation into the Bangaloreans' links to the UK terror conspiracy. But they cannot be disclosed now," the Chief Minister told newspersons here on Monday.
The state police department has also been directed to submit a proposal on the requirement for sophisticated gadgets that would aid them in unravelling terror plots and activities of naxalites to ensure that these elements do not create trouble in the state, Kumaraswamy said.
The government would do everything to foil any terror attempts, he said, adding, "Certain issues cannot be discussed in public."
"The Intelligence Bureau and the state police have been working seriously," Kumaraswamy stressed and appealed to the media not to glorify "certain aspects" concerning the ongoing investigations.
It was shocking to know that educated people were falling prey to terrorist organisations, he said.
