Investigating officials said the explosion was “premature” because the bomb was not fully developed. Over 200 raids were conducted across Jammu and Kashmir and several arrests were made in connection with the suspected “terrorist module” behind the blasts.
The list of arrests made so far in this case is as follows:

Dr. Muzammil visited the Red Fort several times to study the security arrangements and crowd density patterns. Their activities were confirmed through tower location data and CCTV footage collected from nearby areas.
