Mumbai, Oct 02: In a fresh development in the recent bomb blasts cases, police today arrested Zaheed Patni, prime suspect in the July 28 Ghatkopar explosion and twin blasts of August 25, under Pota. He was detained last night after he arrived at the airport here from Dubai, police sources said.
Patni would be produced before a court tomorrow, the sources added.
Patni arrived here from Dubai after police warned his parents to instruct his son to cooperate or face stern action. He was suspected to have participated in conspiracy behind the blasts, hatched by slain terrorist Nasir.
Nasir was killed in an encounter with police recently.
Patni, who had allegedly met Nasir and Syed Mohammed Haneef in Dubai, was questioned for his alleged complicity in the bomb blast prior to his arrest. Haneef, his wife Fahimida and accomplice Arshat have been arrested under Pota in the July 28 bomb blast case which killed 2 persons and injured 31 others.
Patni is also suspected to be involved in the August 25 twin bomb blasts at Zaveri Bazaar and Gateway of India in the city that claimed 53 lives. Bureau Report
