• Fazle Rehman alias Rafik Durani (23) worked as a sales manager in a multinational company in Pune when he was drawn into the group. “I went to different places in a car to pick up my brothers after they planted the bombs in different parts of Surat. I was given the job of driving the car. We made the bombs in the house of Sajid Mansuri in Bharuch, then brought them to Surat.”

• Taveer Pathan (23) is a resident of Surat. He worked in a refrigeration shop at Varachha and would service and repair air-conditioners in Surat malls. “After coming in contact with Sajid through one Ashfaq, I got into the group. I later came in touch with Qayamuddin Kapadia. I was assigned to spot crowded places to carry out the blasts. I am familiar with Varachha, so I showed them locations,” he said.
