Ghaziabad, May 27 (IANS): One of the accused in a crude bomb blast in the Delhi High Court premises Wednesday was arrested from Ghaziabad district, adjoining the national capital, police said Friday.

According to local police officials, a Delhi Police team, on the track of accused Nafees, raided his hideout in Pawala village under Pilkhuwa police station jurisdiction of the district but could not find him. Nafees's brother Gulfam, who was also wanted, was arrested.

Gulfam was residing in Pawala village for about an year now.

Superintendent of Police (Rural) Ajay Kumar confirmed Gulfam's arrest but said that Delhi Police did not take Ghaziabad police into confidence and carried out the raid without informing them.

A crude bomb went off outside the Delhi High Court complex around 1.15 p.m. Wednesday. No casualty was reported.

The explosion took place near the right-hand front wheel of a car in a parking bay, close to the boundary wall of the court complex.

Less than 250 gram explosive was used in the low intensity blast, Delhi Police Commissioner B.K. Gupta said in a preliminary inquiry report given to the home ministry Thursday.
