Two accused persons - Aakif Ateeque Nachan and Zulfikar Ali Barodawala - who were arrested by the NIA in the 'ISIS Maharashtra module case' have been found to be closely associated with the suspects recently arrested by the Maharashtra ATS for allegedly conducting bomb training and testing in Pune and other parts.
According to the ATS, material such as “chemical powder, charcoal, thermometer, dropper, soldering gun, multimeter, small bulbs, batteries, alarm clock," required for making bombs, were seized from Khan and Saki during investigation.
