As per the ATS sources, the two Yemenis, aged between 50 and 55, have been staying in Kausarbaug area of Kondhwa here with three of their relatives for the last one month.

Today two men were brought to the ATS office for questioning and after five hours of questioning, they were released," said an official from ATS on the condition of anonymity.
