Three days before the suicide bombing attack near Delhi's Red Fort, the suspect Dr Umar Nabi had switched off his phone and his family had been unable to reach him.
The suspected suicide bomber had gone underground after he came to know that the police were looking for him following the arrest of Dr Adil and Dr Muzamil - the doctor duo whose questioning led the police to recover 2,900 kg of explosive material including ammonium nitrate from Faridabad in Haryana.
There is a sense of disbelief and shock in Koyal village in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama as people came to know about the 33-year-old doctor turning out to be suspected suicide bomber.
Following the bomb attack in Delhi that killed nine and injured nearly two dozen people, the police in Jammu and Kashmir launched a major crackdown on suspects.
