Both the accused are from Kishtwar in J&K. The mail was sent from a cyber café in Kishtwar a few hours after the blast took place. Besides a juvenile and Amir Abbas Dev, the NIA has arrested two more persons — one of them is a resident of Kishtwar, while the other has been identified as Wasim Akram Malik, a medical student in Bangladesh.
