The four accused were taken into custody in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on production orders issued by the District Sessions Judge, Patiala House Court. The explosion on Netaji Subhash Marg on November 10 left 15 people dead after a car laden with explosives was detonated in a targeted attack by a terror module operating out of Faridabad in Haryana.
