Officials said all three arrested individuals were in constant touch with their handlers through encrypted messaging platforms, including Botim and WhatsApp. The Botim app is widely used in Dubai.The ANI sources further claimed that the accused recorded the entire incident involving the throwing of petrol bombs on their mobile phones and later shared the footage with their handler.Investigators also said accused Saif Ansari and Aman Ansari had travelled to Dubai, where they allegedly came into contact with Shahbaz Rana alias Bhatti, a Pakistani national.
