While some locals recollected the horrors of blood and flesh strewn in the area, some echoed memories of the 2006 serial blasts, and for many it was the loss of the only breadwinner in the family.
The probe agency produced Soyab and Bilal at the Patiala House Court amid tight security on Friday upon the expiry of their previous four-day NIA custody granted on December 15.
According to the agency, Yasir Ahmad Dar allegedly played an active role in the conspiracy behind the blast and had taken an oath for carrying out self-sacrificial operations.
The searches were carried out at the instance of the two accused who had told the investigators about hideouts in the Mattan forest area of Anantnag and in Wanpora in the Qazigund area of Kulgam.
