Pune:
The wedding video, Samad's supposed alibi, shows him attending it.
"At that time he was here, it was the occasion of my daughter's wedding," said Mohammad Ibrahim Siddibapa, Samad's relative.
Yet this video is no clinching alibi. It is undated. In fact, the wedding card shows the ceremonies took place much earlier on February 5th and 6th.
The other big question is why would Samad travel to Dubai on valid travel documents if he feared being traced?
These claims have been dismissed by the ATS. They say Samad's arrest was well-planned and based on strong leads.
The ATS initially arrested him for a lesser offence under the Arms Act to have time to interrogate him, but with the union home minister going ahead and declaring Samad a prime suspect in the Pune blast, investigators are now under pressure to produce evidence.
