Ajmer: The Rajasthan Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) have picked up a person named Devendra Gupta in connection with the Ajmer Dargah blast in which two persons were killed in October 2007. Gupta, who is affiliated to a Hindu extremist group and has connections with Malegaon blast accused Pragya Singh Thakur, was arrested from Ajmer’s Bihariganj area for his alleged involvement in the Dargah blast.
According to NDTV, the ATS was watching Gupta for the last six months. Gupta had allegedly purchased the SIM cards for the mobile hand set which triggered the blasts killing 2 people and injuring more than 15 people.
ATS has said Gupta may have links to the Hindu extremist group Abhinav Bharat with which Pragya and several others had been attached.
The police said Gupta was staying in Jharkhand and had come to Ajmer on Wednesday. A SIM card recovered from the blast site helped police trace him.
According to PTI, the accused is expected to be produced before a local court today, police sources said.
