Faijulla Mohammad Karim Shaikh (30) from Darbhanga, Bihar, was arrested on Friday.

Police recovered some incriminating documents in Urdu and newspaper cuttings related to the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai from Shaikh's possession.

Additional SP Shahaji Umap said Shaikh has been staying in different parts of Kolhapur district and Goa for the last one year.

He was earlier arrested in May 2008 following the recovery of a hand grenade in Chandgad Dam, police said.
