Yasin Bhatkal, 31,whose real name is Ahmed Siddibappa, was arrested in Pokhara in Nepal where he was living in the guise of Unanai doctor. The Nepal Intelligence Bureau also found Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi,an absconding front ranking member of the Azamgarh module of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), who had played a crucial role in the 2011 serial blasts in Mumbai. Yasin, who came from the same town Bhatkal in coastal Karnataka as two fugitive commanders of IM Riyaz and Iqbal, was at the forefront of the effort to revive the terror outfit, and would often go to the extent of personally participating in terror attacks such as in Pune’s German Bakery and Bangalore’s Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2010, Mumbai serial blasts in 2011, Pune’s Jangali Maharaj Road blast in 2012 and twin blasts in Hyderabad’s Dilsukhnagar in 2013.
