Two days after a car exploded near a CRPF vehicle in Banihal, the Jammu and Kashmir Police Monday arrested Owais Amin (20), who allegedly drove the car, and recovered two improvised explosive devices (IED) of which only one exploded on Saturday. J&K DGP Dilbag Singh said that Amin was arrested around 8.30 pm Sunday while he was trying to return to the Valley. “He had injuries and burn marks when he was apprehended and told us that he was driving the vehicle which exploded near Banihal on Saturday,” he said. On Saturday, the car Amin was allegedly driving hit a CRPF bus and then burst into flames. The smaller one exploded, perhaps, after the first IED went off and cause a fire,” an investigator involved with the probe said.
