Information from mobile phones used by Ghazi and his friends are being explored in an effort to find links to the blasts, police sources said.

No material linked to the two different types of bombs used on May 18 and August 25 have been found around Ghazi’s living quarters or elsewhere, police said. No motives for participating in the terror attacks had also emerged so far. In the second week of September, the Hyderabad Police had announced the search for three other Bangladeshi nationals connected with Ghazi, who lived at his Kishanbagh home over the past six months.

They included Masiluddin (24), a second man called Hussaini (18), who reportedly disappeared around August 29, and Ghazi’s 12-year-old brother Irfan Ghazi.

Police said Masiluddin left Hyderabad soon after the May 18 blasts that killed nine people while Hussaini left after the August 25 serial blasts that killed 43 people.

Ghazi who was produced before a metropolitan magistrate on Friday was remanded to judicial custody till October 5. At the court he said he was innocent.
