Top LeT bomb expert Abdul Karim Tunda was taken to his native village Pilkhuwa in the district by the Delhi Police to get information about potassium dealers who allegedly have links with terrorists.

Tunda was taken to his ancestral home in Bazaar Khurd area in Pilkhuwa yesterday by Delhi Police's special team.

"Thorough questioning of all those involved in potassium trade will soon be undertaken and whoever is found involved in illegal activities will be dealt seriously," Mohan said.

A detailed list of the people involved in the trade prepared by the intelligence agencies has already been handed over to the top police officials, who are using it as a basis for their investigation process, he said.

During interrogation, Tunda had told Delhi Police that he sourced potassium to make bombs from local traders in Pilkhuwa which is famed for its cloth printing industry.
