Regarding Saad Aziz, Farooqi noted that he initially grew religious due to household influences. According to the DIG, Aziz's mother had a deep interest in religious lectures and would often host them at the family residence. Aziz became more susceptible to being indoctrinated after he faced rejection in his love life, an event that Farooqi says "further cluttered his mind".
He also said that a psychoanalysis of the suspect revealed that Aziz's mental unrest developed due to his "neglected childhood", which later turned out to be a major source of his dangerous ambitions.
Aziz started educating himself with the translation of the Quran upon the insistence of some people, went for an Umrah, and then later even joined the Tableeghi Jamaat.
