Ranchi : One person who taught at a madrassa was arrested in Jharkand in connection with the Oct 11 blast in Ajmer, police said.
According to local police a team of Rajasthan police arrived in Jharkhand and arrested Khusirbur Rahman Thursday from Chanda village of Godda district, 450 km from state capital Ranchi.
“Rahman was arrested after the Rajasthan police team sought the help of the state police. He is being interrogated,” a police official said.
Three people were killed and 17 injured in the bomb blast during Ramadan prayers Oct 11 near the Ajmer dargah in Rajasthan, one of the biggest pilgrimage spots in South Asia.
According to sources, Rahman was named by a terrorist arrested in Jammu and Kashmir.
Rahman was reportedly staying in Ajmer and teaching in a school, but left Ajmer and shifted to Godda district of Jharkhand just before the blast.
“We will extend all support if Rajasthan police want to take him to Ajmer for further interrogation,” the police official said.
A central intelligence team was in Jamtara district of Jharkhand Oct 16 to interrogate a mobile phone dealer in connection with the Ajmer blast.
