NEW DELHI - A doctor here on Saturday rubbished reports of his involvement in the Malegaon bombing or the Abhinav Bharat group that supposedly masterminded the terror attack. “I have no role in anything. I don’t (even) know what is the ideology of Abhinav Bharat,” R.P. Singh, an endocrinologist at a leading private hospital here, told news channels.
Singh acknowledged that he knew the self-styled Hindu religious leader Dayanand Pandey, who is in the custody of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad. Singh said he was “working for Kashmir refugees” and believed in Hindutva ideology.
"Sure, I had sympathy for them and was in league with them, but that doesn't mean I done anything!" | Singh admitted he was present in Pandey’s office in Faridabad, adjoining Delhi, on January 26 this year where investigators believe the September 29 Malegaon bombing was planned. But he insisted he was not aware of any planning. “Yes, I was there but no conspiracy was hatched in front of me,” he said.
"I had my fingers in my ears and was singing 'la-la-la-la' the whole time!" |
