Bhatkal had bomb-making lab in Goa? NIA carries out searches

The NIA sleuths on Saturday night brought Bhatkal to Goa by a chartered flight from Delhi and left on the same night after visiting the house in Anjuna, and also Chimbel, a slum area near Panaji, police sources said.



NIA picked up one person from Indiranagar Chimbel slum for interrogation. A second-hand motorcycle which Bhatkal used during his stay was also recovered, they said.

The information submitted by Chari at the time of renting his house does not mention Bhatkal. According to him, another man, who provided a Pune address, rented it, and Bhatkal joined him later.

Chari also said that he did not remember the name of the person who had rented the house.
