Four persons, including a Unani doctor, were detained by the National Investigation Agency in Beed district of Maharashtra for interrogation, police said on Friday.
The National Investigation Agency has let off two of the four persons who were detained in Beed in the last two days, sources said.
Amid reports that Saudi Arabia deported Abu Jundal after being convinced of his identity through a DNA test, the 26/11 Mumbai attack handler's mother on Thursday claimed their samples were never collected.
Lashkar-e-Tayiba operative Abu Jindal, who was arrested in Delhi on Monday, was once called Syed Zabiuddin Syed Zakiuddin Ansari, according to police records. He was a member of the Students Islamic Movement of India in the 1990s and was known simply as Ansari. He was given the alias of Abu Jundal after he joined Lashkar.
The various transcripts and telephonic conversations between the handlers and the attackers, which are in possession with the Mumbai police and the Intelligence Bureau, point out to the role of Syed Zabiuddin in the attacks.
