Delving deep into the conspiracy behind the Easter bombings, the Indian investigating agencies have confirmed that two of the attackers visited India in 2012 on business visas, partially corroborating the claims made by Sri Lanka’s Army Chief Lieutenant General Mahesh Senanayake, reports The New Indian Express.
According to the report, Senanayake had claimed that some of the Easter Sunday suicide bombers had visited to Kashmir, Kerala and Bengaluru “for some sort of training”. However, the Indian agencies have refuted his statement that two of them received any sort of training, saying that they visited India for a business trip.
Top sources in central intelligence agencies said that the father of the two suicide bombers’, Mohammed Ibrahim, who was subsequently arrested, is a spice tycoon and his company Ishana Exports Pvt Ltd, based in Colombo, is listed in Trade India’s list of verified exporters offering quality spices and copper tubes.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
