The Kerala-based Maudany was among the six people named in the additional chargesheet filed by the Bangalore Police Friday in a magistrate’s court here. Police had earlier chargesheeted 26 people.

“We have enough evidence to name Maudany an accused in the case,” Joint Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar told reporters here.

Kumar said of the 32 chargesheeted, 12 are absconding. “We are looking for three people from outside the country,” he said

Of the six named as accused Friday, five belong to Kerala and one from Karnataka, he said.

Nine low-intensity crude bombs exploded in east and south Bangalore July 25, 2008 within 45 minutes. One woman, waiting at a bus stop, was killed on the spot in east Bangalore.
