Bangalore: Police are probing the possibility
of involvement of Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD) in the
2009 Mysore communal violence and terror strike at Indian
Institute of Science here, Home Minister R Ashoka said on Tuesday.

Investigation into a murder case in which three members of
KFD were arrested, has revealed that the organisation has a
wide network, after 40 SIM cards were recovered from the
accused, he told reporters.
Several BJP leaders in the State have demanded a ban on
KFD, terming it a "terror outfit".

Ashoka said KFD members` modus operandi is to extort money
from rich people, and split the cash amount for themselves and
for the organisation.
An IIT Delhi professor was killed and four people were
injured in the 2005 terror strike at IISC.
