No contact with family
Jose’s family in India, speaking to IANS, expressed disbelief at the accusations. “We speak daily over the phone. However, for the last three days, we have had no contact with Jose. He is a straightforward person and we trust him fully. He will not be part of any wrongdoing. He may have been trapped in these blasts,” said Thankachen, a relative of Jose.
Jose, who holds an MBA from India’s Pondicherry University and a Master’s in International Social Welfare and Health Policy from Oslo Metropolitan University, moved to Norway more than a decade ago. His relatives also noted that he last visited his home in Wayanad in November and returned to Norway in January. His father, Jose Moothedam, runs a tailoring shop in Mananthavady.
Further adding to the intrigue, Jose’s social media profiles describe him as an employee of the DN Media Group and an entrepreneur running Nortalink, an IT and consulting firm based in Norway.
Officials from Taiwan, Bulgaria, and other nations continue to probe the details behind the attacks. Taiwan-based Gold Apollo denied involvement, with Taiwan’s Economy Minister, Kuo Jyh-huei, explaining, “The components are (mainly) low-end IC (integrated circuits) and batteries,” clarifying that the devices were not intended for weaponization.
