In October, the police had arrested two BTech students of the local St Soldier College of Engineering and Technology — Shahid Qayoom (22) and Fazil Bashir (23) in the low-intensity explosions on September 14 and said that it was the handiwork of Kashmir-based Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH) to which the arrested students were aligned.

Zakir Mussa, who heads the terror outfit, masterminded and guided the attacks, the police had said.
