BREAKING: Lashkar terrorist Salman Rehman, wanted in Bengaluru terror conspiracy case, extradited from Rwanda

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has achieved a breakthrough in the Bengaluru prisons terror conspiracy case by successfully extraditing Salman Rehman Khan, a key Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative, from Rwanda. The extradition was conducted in collaboration with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Interpol's National Central Bureau in Kigali, as part of a covert mission led by the CBI's Global Operations Centre. Salman Khan, a fugitive wanted for his involvement in Bengaluru terror activities, is accused of criminal conspiracy, membership in the Pakistan-based LeT, and providing material support for terrorist operations. Officials allege he facilitated the supply of arms, ammunition, and explosives for terror-related incidents in the city. The case against Khan began with the Bengaluru City Police after a large arms haul was discovered at the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison. In a raid last year, officials seized seven pistols, four hand grenades, a magazine, 45 bullets, and four walkie-talkies. These items were reportedly meant to help militants operating in Bengaluru. The NIA registered a case against Khan in 2023 under various provisions, including the Arms Act, the Explosive Substances Act, and sections related to terrorism. His role in coordinating the supply of weapons and explosives to further Lashkar-e-Taiba’s terror agenda is under scrutiny. Khan’s extradition from Rwanda marks a critical milestone in the investigation, with officials hailing it as a major success in the fight against terrorism. The NIA and CBI’s joint efforts underscore India’s commitment to tracking down and prosecuting terrorists across international boundaries. Further investigations are underway to uncover additional details about Khan’s network and his involvement in other terror-related activities.
