The two were arrested from Saikia’s rented home in Guwahati’s Panjabari area after authorities received information about there whereabouts. A 9mm pistol, live cartridges and also 20 kilograms of gunpowder was seized in the raid.
“Last night, we received inputs that three to four people, who were involved in the blast, were staying in a house in Panjabari area. So, we conducted a recce early today after which we arrested Rajguru and Saikia.” Guwahati Police Commissioner, Deepak Kumar, said.
