The Bengaluru Police, who claimed to have cracked a terror module that had procured arms and ammunition to carry out subversive activities in the city, recovered four live grenades from the Kodigehalli residence of one of the arrested persons, Jahid Tabrez. Even as the city police claimed that the recovery of live grenades from the house of one of the accused was an indication of the module’s capability to carry out blasts and were waiting for a “green signal” from their handlers, family members of Tabrez alleged the grenades were “planted” by the police. The police brought them, placed them here in our house, and claimed to have found them,” said Avez Tabarez, elder brother of the accused. Allegations denied Denying these allegations, a senior police official, who is part of the probe, said that the custodial interrogation of the accused led them to the cache of live grenades.
