Jaipur: In a major
breakthrough, the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Rajasthan Police
claim to have found the car that carried explosives for the Ajmer
bomb blast in 2007 that killed three people and injured over 30.
"We have traced the car, a black Hyundai Santro, bearing Madhya
Pradesh registeration number, which was used to transport the
explosives for the Dargah bomb blast," an official of Rajasthan
Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) told IANS Saturday.
The explosives were taken in this car from Indore to Godhra in
Gujarat and then to Ajmer in Rajasthan, he added.
The ATS, however, was tight lipped as to where this car was found.
The squad has also identified five more suspects wanted in the
case. "We have identified that five men - Bhavesh, Divesh, Sunny,
Mukesh and Mehul. We have been on their trail for long," the
official added.
The ATS has so far arrested four for the blast in the Dargah of
Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer.
In October, Rajasthan's Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) filed charge
sheets in an Ajmer local court against the five accused in the
blast case. It alleges that supporters of a radical Hindu group
called Abhinav Bharat carried out the blast Oct 11, 2007.
The ATS has charged Devendra Gupta, Lokesh Sharma, Chander Shekhar
Lave, Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangre with murder, attempt to
murder, conspiracy, harming or defiling place of worship and other
crimes.
Gupta, Sharma, Lave are in judicial custody while Dange and
Kalsangre are untraced and on the run.
Another accused, Sunil Joshi, died during the course of
investigation.
The 806-page charge sheet says that the conspiracy for the bomb
blast was hatched during a meeting held in room 26 of Gujarati
Samaj guest house near MI Road here Oct 21, 2005.
According to the charge sheet, senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar was
present at the secret meeting which six other functionaries of the
outfit attended.
Besides Kumar, Swami Aseemanand of Abhinav Bharat and Sadhvi
Pragya of Jai Vande Matram Sangathan were also present at the
meeting, it claimed.
"Indresh Kumar has so far not been made an accused in the case as
further investigations are required, but he seems to be a
conspirator," an ATS source said.
