The conspirators:
The three - Zia-ur-Rehman , Mohammad Shakeel and Saquib Nisar were jointly interrogated and revealed that they were involved in the September 13 blasts in Delhi. They further revealed involvement in the July 27 Ahmedabad serial blasts.
So far, the police said Shakeel had emerged as the man who indoctrinated youths for jihad. A final year student of MA (economics), (((it seems to be the season for economists to wreak utter havoc))) he was responsible for planting a bomb near Gaffar Market. He took an autorickshaw from Paharganj. Bombs were kept in a pressure cooker which was placed in a bag. Pressure cookers were used in the Mumbai 7/11 and UP blasts as well. Shakeel also revealed that he had been to Ahmedabad along with Atif and planted cycle bombs in Maninagar area, which is part of chief minister Narendra Modi's constituency.
He enjoyed the confidance of Atif and was allowed to go alone to plant the bomb at Gaffar Market while others went in twos. He also returned to his Sangam Vihar house on the day of the incident while others stayed at L-18 house. Shakeel told police that Atif had received Rs 50,000 from someone in UP and gave them Rs 1,500 each for expenses.
Shakeel's elder brother is a part-time MBA (((the MBA's aren't doing that great, either, frankly))) and works with his father at their mechanical printing press in Tuglaqabad and is married, with a twoyear-old son while his younger brother is a call centre employee. (((Must have great English.))) The police also seized an old edition of a weekly news magazine which had blasts as the cover story.
Abdur Rehman was the caretaker of the house (L-18 ). His son Zia, who was a student of BA (III year) at Jamia University and had also done O level computer course, came in contact with Atif through Saquib four years ago.
According to Dhaliwal, Zia was the main logistics provider for Atif, and planted bombs at Central Park in Connaught Place. He carried the bombs in double-layered polythene and covered it with banana peels to make it appear like a garbage packet. He put the poly bag in a garbage bin.
Saquib Nisar is an MBA distance learning student from Sikkim Manipal University. He had also worked in a job recruitment company at Nehru Place. He could not go to plant a bomb on September 13 as he noticed some defect in the explosive, the police said.
Tech savvy mastermind Atif (((there have been geeks involved in terrorism before, but this character is particularly malicious))):
The three revealed that Atif had done BSc (IT) from IACM institute in Ghazibad and had a sharp mind for technology. Atif used to direct movements of the module. Atif was also in touch with several other people, including a '' highly-educated' ' person who used to write emails for the group and sent them from hacked wi-fi accounts in Mumbai. Cops have zeroed in on a cyber expert in Mumbai who was hired for the job and he will be arrested soon.
Police said that Atif, Shakeel and Saquib had also conducted a recce of the September 13 blast sites, a day before. The three further told police that Atif used to say the blasts should be carried out in the evening, when more people are on the roads, so that maximum lives could be claimed.
A newspaper without a blast story used to disappoint Atif, said police. Atif, along with Saif, Malik , Junaid, Shadab and some others, had gone to Varanasi, a day before the serial blasts there in March 2006 for a recce. All five planted bombs at three different places. Junaid and Shadab planted bombs at the railway station, Atif and Saif took planted explosives at Godowlia market while Malik along with another man kept bombs at Sankat Mochan temple.
The module was also responsible for the Gorakhpur blasts of November 2007 where it carried the explosives, hidden in milk containers. Atif, Saif and Salman were the members of that particular module that carried out the three blasts.
