Bangalore, September 12:A second round of narco-analysis conducted on Hyderabad bomb blasts suspect Imran Sayeed on Wednesday has tied up loose ends regarding names given by him during the September 4 narco-analysis test.

Imran Sayeed, 23, an engineering student working as a part-time BPO employee in Hyderabad, is primarily being questioned in connection with the May 18 blasts at the Mecca Masjid and for the possible knowledge of the perpetrators of the August 25 blasts.

Sources associated with the test said Imran had revealed that he had facilitated the stay, transportation and operational requirements of four people sent to Hyderabad by his uncle Shoaib Jagirdar in March this year.

One of the four visitors, according to Imran, was Sheikh Sameer or Nayeem — an alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba operative arrested on April 1 from the West Bengal-Bangladesh border. During the two nacro-analysis tests, Nayeem had revealed that he facilitated transportation of people and also RDX to Hyderabad.

In the Mecca Masjid blast that killed nine people, around 300 gm of an RDX-TNT mix was used, while a second bomb with a similar amount of explosive material was defused. With Nayeem saying that he transported nearly 10 kg of RDX to Hyderabad, investigators are now trying to find where the consignment could have gone.

Sources said the second narco-analysis on Imran on Wednesday did not yield any result on any location where the RDX could be stored.

The most crucial bits of information from the latest test relate to the bulk purchase of SIM cards — the identities of the seller, the buyers and the financiers — for alleged use by people sent to Hyderabad, sources said. Imran has revealed that 100 to 150 SIM cards were purchased in Hyderabad for distribution among associates.

Imran also disclosed the names of the lodges in Hyderabad where the four visitors stayed in March, the name of a welder whose services the visitors had used during their stay. He also accepted that the visitors used his motorcycle.

Sources said Imran, towards the end of the narco-analysis test, also claimed innocence in the terror attack of May 18.

“The second test was necessitated to fill many loopholes from the first test, especially regarding names. Those have been sufficiently answered now,” the sources said.

A second test will also be conducted on Abdul Kaleem, an associate of Imran, on Thursday. Kaleem alias Rafee, like Sayeed, has been accused of trying to help Nayeem obtain a passport with forged documents, at the insistence of Jagirdar.

During his first narco test on September 5, Kaleem had rambled about being given a package for safe custody by his Dubai-based brother Abdul Khader ahead of the May 18 blasts. Investigators are hoping to obtain details regarding the package in the second test.
