AJMER/JAIPUR:
Rajasthan Police has moved a court here for permission to conduct a narco-analysis test on alleged Hindu right-wing activist Devendra Gupta, arrested in connection with the 2007 Ajmer Dargah blast which left three dead and over 30 injured.
"We have sought permission from the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ajmer, to conduct narco-test on Gupta and a decision on it will be taken in the next hearing tomorrow," Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) sources said today.
The ATS has arrested three persons in the blast case -- Devendra from Ajmer and Chandrashekhar and Vishnu Patidar from Madhya Pradesh. Gupta and Chandrashekar are on police remand and being interrogated by the ATS in Jaipur while the Patidar, who was apprehended yesterday, has been brought here.
Gupta is suspected to be linked to Hindu outfit Abhinav Bharat, which is allegedly involved in the Malegaon blast.
Police are also probing Gupta's alleged links with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, a key accused in the Malegaon blast case.
Chandrasekhar, who is also suspected to have connections with Hindu right-wing groups, is alleged to be a key member of the terror module involved in the Ajmer blast, the sources said.
Patidar was arrested by a five-member team of Rajasthan ATS from village Khardonkala in Shajapur district in Madhya Pradesh for his suspected involvement in the Ajmer blast, Additional Superintendent of Police Ramji Shrivastava said.
One more held for Ajmer Dargah bombing
A third man suspected to be involved in the 2007 bombing at the famed Ajmer Dargah Sharif that killed three people has been detained in Madhya Pradesh and brought to Rajasthan, police sources said on Sunday.
The Anti-Terrorist Squad of the Rajasthan Police held Vishnu Prasad late on Saturday in Shahjahanpur in neighbouring Madhya Pradesh. The suspect is said to be a close aide of Chandrashekhar, a member of a Hindu rightwing group, who was arrested from Shahjahanpur on Friday in connection with the blast, police sources said.
Chandrashekhar's arrest came close on the heels of the arrest of Devendra Gupta from Ajmer on Wednesday.
Three people were killed and about 30 injured when a bomb exploded on Oct 11, 2007 on the premises of the Dargah of Sufi Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti which annually draws hundreds of thousands of devouts both from India and abroad.
