A person was on Monday night detained at the Bangalore airport for suspected links with the Mumbai twin blasts shortly before he was to board a flight to Dubai.
Mohammed Faheen was taken into custody on grounds of suspicion, City Police Commissioner Mariswami said.
"We are verifying whether he had any links," he said.
Fifty-two people were killed and over 150 injured in the blasts that rocked Mumbai last Monday.
