A Wisconsin man was identified from DNA pulled from a partially eaten burrito and arrested in the firebombing of an anti-abortion lobbying group’s office last year, prosecutors said.
The man, Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, of Madison, Wis., was arrested at Logan International Airport in Boston on Tuesday, according to the office of the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin in Madison.
He was charged with one felony count of attempting to cause damage by means of fire or an explosive.
“According to the complaint, Mr. Roychowdhury used an incendiary device in violation of federal law in connection with his efforts to terrorize and intimidate a private organization,” Matthew G. Olsen, assistant attorney general of the national security division of the Justice Department, said in a statement.
The investigation stemmed from a fire that was reported at about 6 a.m. on May 8, 2022, at an office building in Madison. The blaze had been started by a Molotov cocktail.
Inside were the headquarters of Wisconsin Family Action, an anti-abortion group that appeared to be the target of the attack. The police said that they found graffiti spray-painted on the building’s exterior that read, “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.”
Earlier this month, officers observed him throwing a fast food bag into a public trash can at a parking lot in Madison. The officers retrieved the bag, which included “a quarter portion of a partially eaten burrito wrapped in waxed paper,” according to court documents.
On March 17, a forensic biologist compared the DNA evidence recovered from the scene of the fire to the DNA collected from the food.

“That beef burrito? Man, it is The Bomb!!”
The Just-us Department will find a way to broom this case. It was the local cops, apparently who tracked him down.
Roychowderhead? Doesn’t sound like a breakfast taco name to me. Regardless, the boy isn’t very bright. Letting your burrito bite you on the ying yang. ROTFL!
I’ve known some burritos that have a fiery content.
Roy Chow Dhury would’ve been a heck of a name, but...
Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury? Really?
He deserved to go to jail just for his name.
Is this terrorist non-binary or otherwise gender confused?
The public has a right to know.
I think he should up his game on that front.

That Green chili and bean burrito I had last night sure left some lingering DNA
Ship him back to whatever hell hole spawned him.
Those burritos are called “Hot Tomalies”, aka “Ass blasters” like the creatures in “Tremors II”.
LOL
Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury?
Yet another wonderful import?
Diversity is our strength.
Hindu eating a beef burritto. How sick can you get?

DNA on the burrito? No sour cream on mine, thank you!
Well, the cops did find a partially eaten burrito. So he probably didn't like it.
