One of the main accused, wanted in connection with planting of a pipe bomb allegedly targeting senior BJP leader L K Advani in Tamil Nadu in 2011, was today arrested in Kerala, police said.
A team of CB-CID of Tamil Nadu, who is probing the case, arrested Badusha near Punalur in Kollam district with the assistance of local police.
Police had announced a cash reward of Rs five lakh to those who furnish vital information leading to his arrest.
