Lookout notice for Junaid

Meanwhile, the main suspect in the Bengaluru terror attack plot, known as 'Junaid,' has gone into hiding. The police have issued a lookout notice for him, and there are rumours suggesting he may be hiding in Dubai. Out of seven terror suspects involved in the case, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) police have apprehended five, while Nazeer and Junaid remain at large.

As the investigation progresses, the police discovered that the seized items were not walkie-talkies, but rather specially designed devices intended to control bomb blasts. The search for the suspects and ongoing investigation are critical in ensuring the safety and security of the region.
