    How did he make the bomb?

    He allegedly used information gathered from the internet to create an electric circuit employing firecrackers, an electrical battery, and a mobile phone. The alarm on the phone was to serve as a trigger. He prepared bogus invoices for two computer processors, a cell phone, and a memory card totaling over Rs. 9.8 lakh, and used them to get insurance coverage for these items.
