Jaipur:
One more accused in the 2007 Ajmer blast, which killed three
people and injured 30, has been arrested in Rajasthan's capital
Jaipur, police said Wednesday.
"We arrested 32-year-old Harshad Bhai Solanki alias Munna alias
Raju, a resident of Gujarat, on Nov 1 from Jaipur. Solanki is also
a prime accused in Vadodara's Best Bakery (2002 Gujarat riots)
case and has been absconding after the Best Bakery incident," a
Rajasthan anti-terrorist squad (ATS) official told IANS here
Wednesday.
Harshad's main work was to prepare and assemble the explosives and
other necessary equipment. He was also assigned the task to carry
the bombs to the pre-decided location, the official said.
The ATS earlier arrested three people in connection with the blast
at Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti's dargah in Ajmer.
The ATS had earlier filed a charge sheet in a local court in Ajmer
against five accused in the case.
The charge sheet alleged that supporters of radical Hindu group
Abhinav Bharat carried out the blast Oct 11, 2007.
The ATS charged Devendra Gupta, Lokesh Sharma, Chander Shekhar
Lave, Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangre with murder, attempt to
murder, conspiracy, harming or defiling place of worship and other
crimes.
Gupta, Sharma and Lave are in judicial custody while Dange and
Kalsangre are absconding.
Another accused, Sunil Joshi, died during the course of
investigation.
The 806-page charge sheet said that the conspiracy for the bomb
blast was hatched during a meeting held in room number 26 of
Gujarati Samaj guest house situated near MI Road here Oct 21,
2005.
Senior Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Indresh Kumar was
present when the conspiracy to carry out a blast was hatched,
according to the charge-sheet in the case.
According to the ATS, the bombs were made in Indore between Feb
11-13, 2007.
