| After he was arrested in Bihar, Yasin Bhatkal, the alleged chief of terror group Indian Mujahideen said, "I carry out bomb blasts to send a message," according a top Bihar police officer.
Vinay Kumar, the Superintendent of Police in Motihari, where Bhatkal was arrested on Wednesday night, shared this today with the Press Trust of India after Bhatkal was flown on a special plane from the state capital of Patna to Delhi.
Mr Kumar was among the Bihar officers who worked with intelligence officials in a top-secret operation to capture Bhatkal, one of India's 12 most-wanted men.
He was among the investigators who interrogated Bhatkal for three hours yesterday.
Sources say that Bhatkal denied the Mujahideen's involvement in a series of bomb blasts in the pilgrimage town of Bodh Gaya in July, but said of the attacks, "Good... it seems there are other people like us working for the same purpose."
The police also says Bhatkal told them that he trained around 100 associates who he claimed were ready to do anything at his command.
Bhatkal is wanted by the police in 12 different states for allegedly masterminding and executing some of India's deadliest terror attacks, in which hundreds have been killed.
Bhatkal, who belongs to coastal Karnataka, was found along the border with Nepal with another alleged Mujahideen member named Asadullah Akhtar
