Accused Jagjit Singh alias Jagga and Naushad were arrested by SAIL on Thursday for their suspected links with terror outfits and involvement in heinous crimes.
Delhi Police spokesperson Suman Nalwa said the accused were produced before the court on Friday and sent to 14-day police custody.
Ms. Nalwa said, “During investigation, in course of revelations, both the accused took the police team to their rented accommodation at Shraddhanand Colony in Bhalswa Dairy area, from where two hand grenades were recovered.”
“The FSL team also found traces of human blood,” he added.
The arrest was made ahead of the Republic Day celebrations in the national capital. Police had said that three pistols and 22 live cartridges were recovered from the possession of the accused.
