Bengaluru: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) successfully thwarted a major attack and escape Jailbreak plot in Bangalore during its investigation, sources said on Saturday, January 13.

T Nasir, the prime focus of the probe and accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial bomb blasts, had devised an escape plan from Parappa's Agrahara Jail.

Nasir's influence in orchestrating the attack, along with other arrested suspected terrorists, has come to light.

The investigation continues, revealing critical details surrounding the thwarted escape plot.
