Ajmer blast probe team in Madhya Pradesh

Bhopal: With some newspapers used to pack the explosives in the Ajmer Sharif blast being traced to Indore and Ujjain, a police team from Rajasthan arrived here on Sunday to conduct investigations.

Some newsapers used to wrap the explosives were also traced to Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh Director-General of Police A.R. Pawar told PTI. “Though we are yet to receive any written confirmation about it [findings at the shrine about newspapers], we will provide all kind of support to the investigating team,” he said.

The three-member team carried out investigations at Ratlam and Ujjain districts, but details of its findings were awaited, police said.

A strict vigil was being maintained at Ujjain, especially at Unhel town where activities of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) had been reported, Ujjain Superintendent of Police Jaideep Prasad said.

The team was also expected to visit Indore in connection with the blast, he said.

Two persons were killed and 17 others injured in the blast that took place in the shrine of Moinnudin Chisti on October 11. Official sources said in New Delhi that the Ajmer blast along with some other recent terror attacks, including the one in Hyderabad, was likely to figure high on the agenda of anti-terror talks between India and Pakistan here next week. The sources said India would raise its concerns over the spate in terrorist activities. — PTI
