Jaipur, April 30 (Inditop.com) The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Rajasthan Police has arrested one person in connection with the bomb blast in Ajmer Dargah Sharif Oct 11, 2007, police said Friday.
Three people were killed and at least 30 injured when the bomb exploded at around 6.15 p.m. near the Ahata-e-Noor, a courtyard on the premises of the Dargah of Sufi Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti.
The accused Devendra Gupta, hailing from Bihari Ganj in Ajmer, was arrested Wednesday night, police officials told Inditop.
Gupta, who was staying in Jharkhand, reached Ajmer to visit his ailing mother on the day he was arrested, officials said.
“He was produced Friday before the chief judicial magistrate in Ajmer who remanded him to 12 days’ police custody,” a senior ATS official said.
“He will be brought to Jaipur where he will be further interrogated,” he said.
Sources said Gupta was under surveillance as he had links with some right-wing Hindu organisations.
Refusing to officially name the organisation, sources in ATS said Gupta might have links with a Hindu extremist group.
They added that police were able to trace the accused with the help of SIM cards recovered from the blast site.
Gupta had allegedly purchased the SIM cards for the mobile handset that triggered the blast.
