Locals in Udgir said Baig's cyber caf ufffd was called Global and had been operating from the Municipal Council Complex for nearly four months. They said Baig appeared to be an introvert during his stay in Udgir and many claimed that he used to work till late--it would be almost 2 am, often 3 am before he would call it a day.
The residents of Udgir who shared information on Baig requested anonymity. They said Baig's sister was pursuing DEd from a college in Udgir and he used to stay with her, but in January he sold the cafe to a local person and never returned to Udgir after that.

ATS officials refused to comment on whether they knew why Baig came to the city from Marathwada, but unconfirmed reports suggested that Baig was pricked up from the bus stand in Camp when he arrived to visit his sister, who stays in the area.
Other sources claimed Baig came to the city to pursue a computer course. Investigating officer ACP Vinod Satav refused to divulge any information on this, only saying investigative agencies recovered 1,200 grams of RDX, besides a soldering gun, wires and cutters for making bombs from Baig.u00a0
