The Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad, ATS, said it has arrested two persons in connection with the July 2011 Mumbai serial blasts. The two persons have been identified as Nadeem Akhtar and Naqi Ahmed. However, the alleged mastermind behind the blasts, Indian Mujahideen operative Yasin Bhatkal is yet to be traced.

ATS Chief Rakesh Maria said, they are seeking custody of one more accused identified as Haroon Naik from Mumbra in Mumbai. The triple blasts had rocked Mumbai at Zaveri Bazar, Opera House and Dadar on July 13 last year, killing 27 people, besides injuring several others.
