Panaji, April 11: Almost six months after the Goa bomb blast, National Investigation Agency questioned the chief of the right-wing group linked to the explosion, in which two persons were killed, and also raided his ashram.
Jayant Athavale, chief of Sanatan Sanstha, was quizzed yesterday by sleuths of the Central agency at his residence in Ramnathi Ashram, 30km from here.
“An NIA team quizzed Sanatan Sanstha’s founder Dr Jayant Athavale in his residential quarter,” Sanatan Prabhat, the outfit’s mouthpiece claimed today.
Though no NIA official was available for confirmation, sources in the Central agency said the team was accompanied by Dhananjay Ashtekar, one of the four accused arrested in the case.
The Sanstha’s Managing Trustee Virendra Marathe was also quizzed.
The agency personnel also raided the ashram and seized a few items, including CDs.
