Mirza Himayat Baig, from Udgir in Maharashtra, the only suspect in the case, has been convicted as a co-conspirator in the case. He was arrested after the investigators found 1,200 kg of explosives from his home in Udgir in Latur district. Five others are still wanted in the case.

Others who have been named in the case are Mohsin Choudhary, Yasin Bhatkal, Riyaz Bhatkal, Iqbal Bhatkal and Faiyaz Kagzi.
