He and another accused, Imtiaz Ansari, were assembling bombs in the toilet at the station when loud ringing on a Chinese-made mobile phone in the next stall startled them. They panicked and allegedly dropped the bomb in the toilet cistern, causing it to explode.
Ainul was critically injured, while Imtiaz Ansari was caught while trying to escape with a bag containing explosives. The police claim Ansari was the mastermind among the six men who planted bombs. Ansari and Ainul were believed to be members of the Ranchi module of the terror group Indian Mujahideen.

Four people have been arrested in the case.
