New Delhi, July 30: Probe into the Samjhauta Express blast by the National Investigation Agency will look into the entire conspiracy behind the attack including links of the accused in terror cases in Rajasthan and Maharashtra also.
Replying to questions after presenting his ministry’s report card for July, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram said the decision to handover the probe to NIA was taken as the Harayana Police was not able to make any headway in its probe.
The investigation will also try to ascertain whether the persons and groups involved in the explosion in Samjhauta Express have any links with Hindu extremist elements who were allegedly involved in blasts in Ajmer and Malegaon, Chidambaram said.
“One of the aspects that NIA will probe is whether it has got any connection with those who were involved in Ajmer blast, Mecca Masjid and Malegaon blasts.
