Bikaner, February 23
The man, who resembles one of the two police sketches of the suspects of
the Samjhauta Express blasts, was today sent to Panipat for further
interrogation though his identity remains "doubtful".
Salman (35) came here from Mumbai about a month ago but "there
is no criminal case against him and no case has been registered against
him in connection with the train blasts," Bikaner range
inspector-general of police Laxman Meena said.
"His identity is doubtful," Meena said referring to his
being picked up for questioning on the basis of the police sketches of
the two suspects who alighted from the train on Sunday before the
blasts.
He said Salman was handed over to the Haryana police for further
interrogation.
He had been staying with Sayara Banu alias Sora, whose husband Taj
Mohammad fled from the joint raid on their house on Wednesday. 25
bottles filled with kerosene, petrol and diesel were seized from the
house in Nayashahar, Meena said.
"Taj is a railway employee and will be caught soon," he
said adding that a case under the Prevention of Immoral Traffic Act was
pending against the husband-wife duo for alleged involvement in flesh
trade. — PTI
