The chargesheet mentions that after the Batla encounter, the kingpin of Indian Mujahideen, Yasin Bhatkal, in order to revamp the module, had rented a room near Batla House. 'We even recovered explosives, watch, five detonators and a laptop from the Shaheen Bagh residence near Batla encounter,' the cops said.
Also, from a factory in Meer Vihar, police had recovered fire cracker rolls, a country made pistol, parts of a rocket launcher, 90 pieces of cartridges, pipes, iron nails, an aluminium cooker with a lid (similar to the one found inside an abandoned car outside Jama Masjid ).
'Explosive materials' recovered from the factory and Bhatkal's house in Shaheen Bagh were found to be Sodium chloride, Ammoinium nitrate, RDX, potassium nitrate, ferric chloride, aluminium powder, and components of IED. The recovered electric detonators were found to be live.
In the Jama Masjid open firing, where two tourists were injured, Qateel Siddiqui and Azmal were found guilty.
