According to an NDTV report, Shakeel operated the machine inside his rented accommodation in Faridabad. 
 
Police had seized around 360 kg of ammonium nitrate and other explosive materials from the same location just a day before the blast shook the capital.
 
Investigators say Shakeel ground urea in the mill to achieve a finer texture and later used an electric device to break it down further into chemical components.
The Pulwama-based doctor, who was arrested last week for his suspected role in the attack, has since had his medical licence revoked.

During interrogation, Shakeel is said to have confessed to using the flour mill to extract ammonium nitrate from urea and refine the material for explosive use.

Evidence gathered so far suggests he also helped move the explosives and arranged the transfer of the white Hyundai i20 that was handed over to suicide bomber Umar Nabi.

The November 10 explosion occurred soon after authorities uncovered an interstate “white-collar” terror network, leading to the discovery of a massive stockpile of explosives in Faridabad, Haryana.
