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.

If you want to bomb a place, make sure you eat all of your burrito!
“The Just-us Department will find a way to broom this case. It was the local cops, apparently who tracked him down.”
I was wondering about that, since firebombing this group is not a crime in the eyes of our Brownshirts in DC.
Even the amoral pajeets are getting into the action. Another imported minority problem we should send back.
Ten separate shipments.
Interesting. Guy hates cops:
The site Antifa Watch wrote on Twitter that archived Twitter posts allegedly show the suspect making comments like, “I hope to see 10,000 hanging pigs. I hope to see this country burn” and proclaiming that he was an “anarchist.” At the time, he was still affiliated with UW-Madison.
Thought to have put graffiti on the Wisconsin State Capitol, and was also a former researcher at New Mexico State U....and, has conversed online with the nail bomber Richard Tyler Hunsinger a/k/a “dickophrenic”
He CLAIMED to have been a student researcher at NMSU on his LinkedIn page, anyway. The dates conflict with his being in Madison.
In 2020 he donated money to the group Actblue.
“
Authorities say they saw similarities between the writing style on the Wisconsin Family Action building and in graffiti at the state Capitol. While trying to identify the Capitol suspects, they found a pickup truck that Roychowdhury used to park in a ramp. They later tracked Roychowdhury in the vehicle to a park-and-ride, where they saw him throw away a fast-food bag containing the burrito.”

Kids. The moral of this story is to clean your plate. Eat all your food.
Don’t know about that, may have been born here. He has connections to Las Cruces, NM, and Austin, Texas. Possibly also California.
Hmm. There is a professor at New Mexico Stute U named Debasmita Roychowdhury.
Wonder if that is a relation, possibly a parent or sibling?
Maybe he is just a spoiled brat like so many anarchists are.
That’s why I added the question mark. I’d bet a cup of coffee he’s an import.
