On interrogation it was revealed that Mulla had successfully tried at Shinoli village the bomb prepared by him.

Mulla, who was arrested on May 14 along with three other SIMI activists Liyaqat Ali Syed and others, was released since there was no prima facie evidence of his involvement in terrorist activists.
