2 terrorists held for Delhi blasts In what is being described as the most intensive operation by the Delhi Police, the special cell on Tuesday arrested two men, one of them from Nawanshahar in Punjab, for their involvement in the twin blasts in cinema halls on May 22. The preliminary interrogation of the accused has revealed that the conspiracy behind the attack was hatched in Stuttgart in Germany. While Balwinder Singh was nabbed from a village in Nawanshahar, the other accused, Jagannath, was arrested from Madipur in Delhi. Balwinder has reportedly told the police that the instructions for the attack came from Stuttgart-based Satnam Singh, son-in-law of chief of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), Wadhwa Singh Babbar, and was facilitated by Pakistan-based leaders of former Punjab militant outfits. These men apparently arranged for the RDX used in the attack from Jammu. According to the police, the blasts were carried out by four men. ''Two others have been identified as Vikas and Jaspal. We are hopeful that they will be arrested very soon,'' said police commissioner, Dr K K Paul. Rs 2.94 lakh cash, 1 kg RDX and 2 kg gold was seized from the house in Madipur. According to the two, the instructions for the attack were passed on to them by a man named Shahid in Bangkok. |
