New Delhi: The Special Cell of Delhi Police recovered three kg RDX, detonators and timers from Delhi's Janakpuri area. The explosives were recovered from near a local madarssa.

The raid was made after the arrest of a suspected HuJI militant from Chelmsford Road near Connaught Place late on Wednesday night.

The HuJI militant's name is Iqbal and he had plans to carry out serial blasts in Delhi.

Iqbal had a consignment of 10 kgs of RDX, out of which only three kgs of RDX have been recovered from him but the rest of the seven kgs RDX is still being searched.

The area was raided after police picked up a HuJI militant suspected to be involved in the Samjhauta blasts as well as the serial blasts in Jaipur.

Iqbal was caught after an intelligence tip-off from Chelmsford Road near Connaught Place.

DCP Special Cell, Alok Kumar had earlier confirmed that the man is being interrogated but said that nothing else can be revealed right now.

Nine bomb blasts at eight sites rocked Jaipur on May 13, killing at least 61 people and injuring 210.

Investigating agencies suspect the role of the HuJI possibly with help from Bangladeshi immigrants settled in Rajasthan.

The Rajasthan police last week released sketches of seven suspects, but their features failed to match the accounts provided by the shop owners who sold the cycles to the bombers.

The help of an expert has been sought to redraw the sketches of the suspected bombers.
