Samjhauta Express blasts probe still on: Govt

New Delhi, March 30: The Centre today said the probe into the Samjhauta Express train bomb blasts, in which 43 Pakistani nationals were killed, was still on to find out the identities of all perpetrators of the crime.

A day after the Indo-Pak Home Secretary level talks, where Islamabad wanted to know the progress of the case, the Home Ministry said the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted “painstaking” investigation in the 2007 bomb attack case.

The investigators visited a number of states at different locations and also involved experts from the Forensic Science and Railways in their probe.

“A breakthrough in the case was achieved in the month of December 2010 on the arrest of a key conspirator, who confessed not only of his involvement in the criminal conspiracy but also divulged names of co-conspirators, who had caused the blasts.
