BS Yeddyurappa 'happy' about Madani's arrest

Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa today expressed happiness over the arrest of PDP leader Abdul Nasser Madani, an accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial blasts case.

"I am happy about it. People have been expecting his arrest since the past few days," he told reporters here.

Yeddyurappa complimented the Karnataka police for their success in taking him into custody.

He also thanked the Kerala government for its cooperation in getting him arrested.

The Karnataka police team, camping in Kollam since August 10, executed the non-bailable arrest warrant hours before a deadline set by a Bangalore court was to expire.
