The arrest of Abdul Sattar, an electrician, on January 20 in Hyderabad, helped nab the others involved in carrying out the blasts, the second major terror attack in the tech hub, Bidari said.
A series of low-intensity bombs went off in a span of 15 minutes in crowded areas of east and west Bangalore on July 25. One woman was killed on the spot and a man succumbed to injuries a few days later.
