Bengaluru Police Arrest Three Over Pulakeshinagar Blast Linked to Personal Dispute
Bengaluru police arrested three men from Assam in connection with an October 20 IED blast at an under-construction building in Pulakeshinagar, which injured two workers. Investigations revealed the attack stemmed from personal rivalry involving land and financial disputes, not terrorism. The accused, childhood friends, assembled the device after researching online and targeted a security guard, though another worker was more seriously injured. Police conducted extensive inquiries, including reviewing over 1,500 CCTV recordings and questioning more than 100 people.
