Panaji: Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) sleuths on Sunday conducted searches at an office here run by Sanatan Sanstha, a Hindu right-wing organisation allegedly linked with the Margao blast in which two of its members were killed.

Goa Police had arrested five activists reportedly belonging to Sanatan Sanstha earlier on Saturday in connection with the blast that occurred on Friday evening in Margao.

The blast had taken place at 9.30 pm on Friday night when explosives kept in a scooter went off on a busy street in Margao, 30 kms from Panaji. Police claimed the outfit is allegedly linked to Malegaon blast accused and right-wing activist Sadhvi Pragya Singh.

The ATS personnel, who arrived here today, conducted searches along with state police at the office of the Sansthan, linked to 2008 Malegaon blast accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, in Nesai near Margao town.

The ATS personnel will help the police ascertain whether there are links between Margao blasts and explosions that occurred in Maharashtra in 2008, police said.

Officials of the Sanstha, who were detained and interrogated yesterday, were again called today for questioning.

Five people, including ashram's manager Virendra Marathe and Prithviraj Hazare, editor of Sanstha's mouthpiece 'Sanatan Prabhat', were detained yesterday.

"They were interrogated for more than 10 hours on Saturday at Margao police station," a senior police official stated. Raids were also conducted in Sanstha's ashram at Ramnathi village, near temple town of Ponda yesterday. Goa police had defused three bombs at the site after the blast on diwali eve. Police had confirmed that IED was used in the blast.

Sanathan Sanstha has denied having any link with the blast and promised to extend all support into the investigations.

In an official statement here, the outfit blamed the media for linking the blast to the organisation, which it claimed was ''not true'', stating that the allegations amounted to defaming the religious organisation.
