The NIA team visited Azam Nagar in the city, from where several people with alleged links to the banned SIMI were arrested a few years ago. But it is not clear whether the NIA team interrogated anyone.

It is believed that some of the phone calls received by the arrested generated from Belagavi and attempts are being made to trace the callers. So far, no one has been arrested in Belagavi, sources said.

In the past, 11 youth from Belagavi were arrested for their alleged links with banned organisations, including SIMI. Some of them were charged with regularly attending meetings organised by SIMI and others were allegedly involved in developing an LPG bomb.

When asked about the visit of NIA officials, local police authorities said that they were unaware of any such visit. The NIA is an independent agency with powers to conduct inquiries and investigations without anybody’s assistance, police sources said.

A few days ago, the police had beefed up security at the Belagavi airport and Suvarna Vidhana Soudha after it was revealed that several arrested terror suspects had planned to target important installations across the state.

A team of top police officials had visited the airport and Suvarna Vidhan Soudha to review the security cover a few days ago. A youth arrested while taking photos of prohibited areas in Belagavi airport recently is still in police custody.

    Hi guys,
    it’s good to see action taking place. But let us not alert the criminals. Such missions should be done confidentially. All the best.

    I agree with Anvith. Such news should not be in public domain.

    Isn’t it counter productive to announce the presence of an investigative agency in the public domain?
    Although the information may not be completely secret, it still need not be put out there for everyone to see.

      The visit of the team was recent and recent could be even 7 days ago. We felt this is very important from the city’s perspective and hence shared the news from DC.

      You are right Anvith, especially because this is matter of National Security.
      Media should act responsibly.
