Bangalore Police on Monday arrested the fourth Indian Mujahideen (IM) suspect from Mangalore in connection with the Church Street blast case.

"He has been arrested and brought to Bangalore from the Bajpe Airport in Mangalore. His arrest has been done based on the information that we have collected from the accused whom we have already arrested in the explosives case," Police Commissioner M.N. Reddi said.
