Following the raid, the techie and his brother were taken into custody for questioning and were grilled till late in the night.

The software engineer and his brother are to be further questioned by the NIA on Wednesday.
The probe into the money transactions of the arrested suspects led the NIA to the software engineer and his brother. Searches were also conducted at the residence of the techie’s wife in Belagavi city, according to sources.
After the bomb exploded at the cafe in Bengaluru, the suspected bomber Mussavir reportedly went to Hubballi, where he received help from the techie.
