Panchkula (Haryana):
A Haryana court Wednesday allowed the National Investigating Agency
(NIA) to compare evidence of the Samjhauta train blasts with those
in Malegaon, Hyderabad and Ajmer.
Special Judge Subhash Mehta allowed the investigating agency to
carry the evidence and other proof, found in the Samjhauta blast
of Feb 18, 2007 near Panipat town in Haryana, to be taken to
Hyderabad for examination by forensic experts.
The NIA, through its counsel, had sought the court's permission to
compare evidence of the train blast with other blasts. The
examination will be done at the Central Forensic Sciences
Laboratory in Hyderabad.
Imposing conditions on the NIA, the court said that the evidence
should be taken in safe custody and it (court) should be informed
in advance when the CFSL carries out the examination.
The NIA is looking for leads to any links between these blasts.
Hindu activist Swami Assemanand and four others are the main
accused in the Samjhauta blast case in which 68 people, many of
them from Pakistan, were killed in the blasts in the moving train
near Panipat. The blasts happened on the Delhi-Attari link train
that connects to the peace train between India and Pakistan.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had arrested Aseemanand,
a member of the right-wing Hindu group Abhinav Bharat, Nov 19 last
year from Haridwar (in Uttarakhand) for his alleged role in the
2007 Mecca Masjid blast in Hyderabad in which 14 people were
killed.
