Police sources told TheHindu that Mr. Maudany was questioned by Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Alok Kumar and other police officers.

Mr. Maudany has been charged with murder, waging war against the state and carrying on other unlawful acts. He has categorically denied his involvement in the blasts, the sources said.
