Police accused Tunda of being a "well-known LeT explosive expert and terrorist" and noted that he was involved in a series of blasts in 1993 in Mumbai which killed at least 250 people in a single day.

He also "masterminded" bomb blasts in Delhi in 1997-98 and serial bombings elsewhere in the country, Srivastava told reporters.

"Tunda is one of India's most wanted and his name figures in the list of top 20 terrorists. We arrested him from Indo-Nepal border. He had a Pakistani passport with him," Srivastava said.
