Investigations are also on to ascertain whether Yousuf, who was arrested from New Delhi railway station yesterday, had visited Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Yousuf was caught by Delhi Police's Special Cell about an hour before he was to board a Nanded-bound train. He was caught allegedly with four detonators, two timers and two kgs of explosive chemicals.

"We have alerted Maharashtra Police about the arrest. However, we are yet to ascertain as to which place in Maharashtra Yousuf was headed to," a senior police official said.
