The four detainees were picked up from Bihar and Navi Mumbai area on Saturday. One of the detainees is a doctor, and at least two others are said to be well-educated professionals, according to Mumbai’s anti terror squad (ATS) officials.

"One of those detained is a doctor who was picked from Grant Road, a location close to the Churchgate station. The police believe all seven bombs were planted here," added Raghuvanshi.

Mumbai Police had arrested three persons on Friday in connection with the July 11 blasts who now increasingly appear to be the fringe operators in the complex web of terror modules.

Sources told CNN-IBN, one of the suspects Mumtaz Maqbool Chaudhary, arrested from Vashi on Friday, had harboured the main operatives, while other suspects - Kamal Ahmad Ansari and Khalil Aziz Sheikh - were part of the logistical back up.

"There is a larger conspiracy in behind the 7/11 blasts. There are large no of players involved. Unless and untill we trail all of them, it will not be correct to speak anything, " ATS Chief K P Raghuvanshi said on Saturday.

However, ATS sleuths refused to provide any details on the exact role these operatives played before and during the blasts.

"Till the time the entire conspiracy is unveiled, talking about any of theses individual roles wont be right," said Raghuvanshi.

The arrests made so far are smaller victories that appear to have been made larger than life by police under pressure to deliver to concrete results.
