During the probe the crime branch learnt that Ansar was running a Facebook account with the name of Raj Malhotra. Now, the officials want the deleted data of last three years of his ID.

“This will be crucial to know who he was chatting with. Why he was keeping a Hindu name. Also, if he was in touch with gangsters or any terror outfit, we will be able to know. This data will play a crucial role in unearthing the entire conspiracy.

“With WhatsApp data we will be able to know who he was chatting with mostly, had he planned such things earlier or not. The WhatsApp data will reveal about his network which is also crucial,” said a source.

The police said that they are also checking how many numbers he changed during the last three years. The sources said that if possible they will write to other social media sites, if they come to know that Ansar was active on their platforms.
