Ahmedabad:
A man was arrested by Rajasthan Police Wednesday from Gujarat's
Godhra town in connection with the 2007 Ajmer blast, which killed
three people and injured 30, a police source said.
The anti-terrorist squad (ATS) of Rajasthan Police picked up
Ramesh Vasani Wednesday night, the source said, adding that he was
being taken to Jaipur.
Vasani's arrest comes close on the heels of police in Jaipur
announcing the arrest of another accused, Harshad Solanki, who
hails from Gujarat's Vadodara. He was arrested Nov 1 in Jaipur.
A charge-sheet filed by the ATS in Ajmer earlier included four
names who had also figured in the 2002 Best Bakery riot case in
Vadodara during the post-Godhra communal riots in the state.
Solanki is one of them.
The ATS earlier arrested three people in connection with the blast
at Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti's dargah in Ajmer.
The charge sheet alleged that supporters of radical Hindu group
Abhinav Bharat carried out the blast Oct 11, 2007.
The ATS charged Devendra Gupta, Lokesh Sharma, Chander Shekhar
Lave, Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangre with murder, attempt to
murder, conspiracy, harming or defiling a place of worship and
other crimes.
