Rs.10-lakh reward for clue to Jaipur bombers

Special Correspondent

JAIPUR: The Rajasthan police on Saturday announced a Rs. 10-lakh reward for anyone giving a clue to the identity of those involved in Tuesday’s serial blasts in Jaipur. Additional Director-General (Crime) A.K. Jain said here the information on the perpetrators crime would be kept confidential.

Meanwhile, three more sketches of suspects have been released. All seven sketches were drawn on the basis of descriptions given by owners of shops where the suspected terrorists purchased cycles. Some of the injured also provided valuable inputs. A few more sketches are being prepared.

There were reports that a couple of persons were picked up for questioning from Sawai Madhopur district and the Ramganj area in the Walled City here.

A madrasa teacher reportedly detained at Udai Kalan village in Sawai Madhopur district is suspected to have links with the outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India.

However, H.G. Raghavendra Suhasa, Superintendent of Police (Jaipur North) and member of the SIT, told The Hindu that no one was arrested or brought here for interrogation.

In another development, about 35 persons were discharged from the Sawai Man Singh Hospital here on Friday and Saturday after they underwent treatment for injuries in the blasts. The seriously injured, in the Intensive Care Unit and the Neuro-Surgery Ward, are showing signs of improvement.

10 bodies yet to be identified

Health Minister Narpat Singh Rajvi said 10 bodies, kept in the mortuary, had not yet been identified. Ramveer (36) from Itawa in Uttar Pradesh succumbed to his injuries.
