Hyderabad blast suspects in Bangalore for narco analysis

Two persons suspected to be involved in the August 25 blasts at Lumbini Park and Gokul Park in Hyderabad have been brought to Bangalore for narco analysis tests.

A special investigation team of the Hyderabad police brought Imran and Rafiq to Bangalore and subjected them to brain-mapping tests at the Forensic Sciences Laboratory here. The duo is scheduled to undergo narco analysis and other forensic tests at the laboratory before being taken back to Hyderabad, according to sources in Bangalore City police.

Meanwhile, another police team from Hyderabad is also in Bangalore, apparently looking for a Bangladeshi national who bears a striking resemblance with the sketch of the twin blasts suspect released by Andhra Pradesh police.

The team is trying to trace a person named Rizwan Gazi, the brother of Rafsanjani, a Bangladeshi woman arrested in Hyderabad for travelling without valid documents.
The police team arrived in Bangalore after the woman told them during interrogation that she had received a call from Bangalore made by her brother Rizwan Gazi.

Though Rizwan too had been staying in Hyderabad for the last six years, he had apparently left for Bangalore after the August 25 explosions. The police team had seized the ration card, driving license and other documents obtained by Rizwan by giving different addresses.

After reaching Bangalore, the Hyderabad police is learnt to have to have picked up a woman from a house in Bannerghatta Road in Bangalore in the connection, but could not trace Rizwan. Though Rizwan’s face bears a resemblance to the sketch released by the Andhra Pradesh police, his involvement in the blasts is yet to be established.
