Patna: Bihar Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar Tuesday reacted strongly to the Maharashtra
Police linking Bihar with the terrorists involved in the 13/7
Mumbai serial blasts, saying it was "highly objectionable" to link
any state or place with criminals.
"It is wrong to link Bihar with terrorists involved in the 13/7
blasts in Mumbai. Any place or state has nothing to do with the
crimes committed by some people," Nitish Kumar told newspersons
here Tuesday.
"In this case Bihar was linked with terrorists involved in 13/7
serial blasts in Mumbai. It is not proper," Kumar said.
He said linking Bihar with terrorists involved in 13/7 serial
blasts in Mumbai is to "defame" the state. "It will give a bad
name to Bihar despite the fact that the state has no role in
crimes committed by some people," he said.
Maharashtra ATS on Monday claimed to have made a major
breakthrough in the July 13, 2011, triple blasts that claimed 27
lives, with the arrest of two people hailing from Bihar.
Naqi Ahmed Wasi Ahmed Sheikh (22) and Nadeem Akhtar Ashfaq Sheikh
(23), both from Bihar's Darbhanga district, were arrested on Jan
12. The mastermind of the crime Yasin Bhatkal, a top Indian
Mujahideen operative, and the planters of the IEDs used in the
blasts are still evading arrest, Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Rakesh
Maria told reporters.
Maria said while Naqi came to Mumbai in September 2010, Nadeem,
his co-villager, from Darbhanga district, was living in Antop Hill
area of the city.
