Bengaluru has become epicentre of terror activities: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya
A day after becoming the president of the BJP's youth wing, Tejasvi Surya has said many terror modules have been busted in Bengaluru. Surya had met home minister Amit Shah at his residence last week to request for a well equipped NIA office in Bengaluru.
FollowBengaluru: Tejasvi Surya told the media on September 27 that Union home minister Amit Shah has promised that a permanent station house of the National Investigation Agency will soon be set up in Bengaluru.
Addressing reporters on Sunday, Tejasvi Surya who was on Saturday nominated as the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha said that prompt action by Amit Shah came in the wake of alleged increase in terror-related activities in Bengaluru and Karnataka in the last few years.
