Indian Mujahideen founder Yasin Bhatkal is alleged to be the mastermind of several bomb blasts in India. Yasin Bhatkal, whose real name is Muhammad Ahmad Zarar Siddibapa, hails from Uttara Kannada district in Karnataka.
The 30-year-old Bhatkal co-founded the Indian Mujahideen in 2008 with his brother Riaz Bhatkal and Abdul Subhan Qureshi.
He was on the NIA Most Wanted list and security agencies had been looking for him from the past five years.
He is alleged to have been involved in the 2010 Pune Gernam Bakery blast in which 17 people were killed and is suspected to the person who actually planted the explosives.
The Indian Mujahideen is suspected to be responsible for a long list of terror attacks in India including the ones in Bangalore and Hyderabad. He is the main accused in the blast outside a stadium in Bangalore in 2010 just before a cricket match.
He had earlier been arrested in 2008 by the West Bengal Police, but he managed to get bail as the officials were not aware that they have caught a dreaded terrorist.
