Abdul Rahman, who is in his thirties, was arrested by the sleuths of the Special cell from Chelmsford Road at about 2030 hrs yesterday, according to a senior police official.

Rahman, during interrogation, led the police to the Janak Puri area from where 3.1 kg of RDX, five detonators and a timer were recovered.

''We are interrogating him and trying to find out whether he is a member of the sleeper cell of the terror outfit. We are also trying to find out if he or any of his associates has any connection with the recent Jaipur serial blasts,'' the official added.
