by reciprocal arrangement with Star of Mysore

Mysore, Oct 27: The two terrorists, who were arrested in city last night, were missing since 17 days, according to Suvarna, wife of M.K. Ravikumar, the owner of the house where the terrorists stayed.

Suvarna told Star of Mysore this morning that some people came to her house about 17 days ago and enquired her about the two persons living on the topmost floor of her house.

"They told me that they were Police in mufti from Udayagiri Police Station. They went to the top floor and took away both the persons with them. They also took a suitcase and a computer box with them," Suvarna recalled.

Ravikumar is a Court employee in Chennarayapatna. Fahad alias Mohammed Koya, one of the terrorists, entered into an agreement with Ravikumar on Aug. 16 this year on a monthly rent of Rs. 1,250. He paid a deposit of Rs. 20,000.

Suvarna said that Khader Bhai, who runs a fancy store on Rajivnagar Main Road nearby, introduced the two terrorists to her husband and helped them to get the house on rent.

"Khader said that they were his relatives. Khader's children fre-quented the house of the terrorists and the children called them as chacha," Suvarna added.

The lady said that Fahad paid only one month's rent and later stopped payment. "When complained about them, Khader Bhai told me that they may be facing financial difficulties. He requested me to co-operate," she added.

When enquired about why the duo were taken by the Police, Khader reportedly told Suvarna that it may be something to do with visa problem.
