New Delhi: Security agencies have detained seven persons in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Old Delhi in connection with the blasts on Samjhauta Express on Sunday.
A PTI report said that the detained persons were from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and one was detained in Old Delhi. AP reported that dozens of people have been detained.
Investigators suspect that two groups might have been involved in the blasts--one from Bihar and the other from Western Uttar Pradesh
Police are looking for two men who jumped off the train minutes before two bombs exploded on Sunday night, sparking a fire in two coaches that killed 68 people. Sketches of the two men were released Tuesday.
Relatives have identified 25 of the 68 charred corpses. The Foreign Ministers of India and Pakistan on on Wednesday condemned the attack and said the incident won’t affect dialogue.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri on Thursday said public opinion is in favour of a joint probe in the case but India has rejected the proposal.
India has said that it would share information with Pakistan at a joint anti-terrorism mechanism meet in Islamabad on March 6 but has made it clear it won’t offer anything beyond that.
