The Bihar police on Saturday November 23 arrested Mohammed Asif (24), who finished his BBM at a college in Deralakatte here. The other person arrested is Mushtaq (45), a resident of Sooralpady near Bajpe.
Asif, a resident of Ablamogeru, has six brothers and three sisters, all elder to him. He is a cricket player. His brothers are employed abroad.
Mushtaq is a building contractor by profession and also runs a chicken stall. He is married and has two children. His brothers stay abroad.
Official sources said that Bihar police visited Asif's house at around 2 am on Saturday and searched his house.
At 1.30 pm, he was produced in court and will be taken to Bihar on transit warrant for further investigations. Mushtaq is expected to be produced before the judge on Sunday.
The sources said that Zubair used to call Asif and Mushtaq on the phone frequently and it is suspected that they have some link in the illegal money trail for which Aysha and Zubair were arrested.
The arrest of Aysha and her husband Zubair earlier this month had created a sensation as initially it was believed that Aysha was involved in the funding of Patna blasts. However, the Bihar police booked them only on charges of running an illegal money trail linked to Pakistan and not for terror funding.
