Police in the southern Indian city of Bungalore are searching for 12 people who are believed to be linked to the bombings in UK.

According to the Sunday Times, the current evidence has led the investigation into the UK crisis to India, where three men have been apprehended for their alleged connection with the car bombings in London and Glasgow. All of the three men are from Bangalore, India's software capital.

One of the suspects, Sabeel Ahmed, is a doctor, and his brother Kafeel Ahmed, is an aeronautical engineer. Kafeel is suspected to be one of the two men who drove the blazing car into Glasgow airport.

The third has been identified as Mohammed Haneef, a doctor who worked at a hospital in Australia where he moved from Britain last year. Although his link with the case is not completely determined, he remains in custody because of his attempt to leave the country for India on a one-way ticket.

Kafeel Ahmed, who began researching bomb-making techniques weeks before he travelled to Britain on May 5, was somehow able to acquire the components necessary for assembling the bomb upon his arrival, the Hindu newspaper said.

Police findings suggest Kafeel Ahmed acted without prior training or material assistance from organized groups, adding the police had found no proof of him being linked to any Muslim organizations.

According to Kafeel Ahmed, who was at the wheel of the jeep that crashed into Glasgow airport terminal, the purpose of his trip to England was to complete his doctoral work in computational fluid dynamics.

Policemen in India are currently patroling the streets of Bungalore to find 12 more people suspected to be connected with the plot to verify their role in the bombings.
