Jaipur: The Rajasthan Anti-Terrorist Squad on December 25 claimed a major breakthrough in the 2007 Ajmer Dargah blast case with seizure of the car believed to have been used in transporting the bombs from Indore in Madhya Pradesh and emergence of four new names in connection with the case.
The Rajasthan ATS has recovered a black colored Hyundai Santro in Indore and brought it to Jaipur as evidence. “We have recovered a Santro car and brought it from Indore, recently. It was used by Sunil Joshi (who died during the course of investigation) to carry bombs, which were planted in the Ajmer Dargarh, from Indore to Devas in Gujarat,” ATS-Additional SP Satyendra Singh has been quoted as saying to Press Trust of India (PTI).
The bombs were taken from Indore in Madhya Pradesh to Godhra in Gujarat in the car. From Godhra the bombs were taken to Ajmer by public transport, the ATS officials have claimed.
The names of four more people, suspected to have links with the blast, have cropped up during the course of interrogation of another suspect Mukesh who was arrested last month. Bhavesh, Suresh, Mehul and Sunny are said to be on the ATS scanner.
The ATS has already filed a charge-sheet in the Dargah blast case in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-Ajmer against Devendra Gupta, Lokesh Sharma, Chander Shekhar Lave, Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangre (the last two are absconding).
Devendra Gupta was arrested from Ajmer while Chandrashekhar and Lokesh from Madhya Pradesh earlier this year.
Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar was questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation two days ago in Delhi in connection with some terror blasts including Ajmer and Mecca Masjid.
The blast at the Sufi shrine of Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti on October 11, 2007 had left three persons dead and 15 others injured.
