Samjautha Blast: Hindu radicals charge-sheeted
The National Investigation Agency filed a charge-sheet in a court against five Hindu radicals.
NEW DEHLI:
Just three days before the foreign secretary-level talks between India and Pakistan, the National Investigation Agency on Monday filed a charge-sheet in a court against five Hindu radicals, including Swami Aseemanand, in the Samjhauta Express train blast case and mentioned a senior leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Indresh Kumar, as one of the “suspects” in the terror act, India Times reported on Monday.
Though Kumar is not an accused in the case as NIA has so far not found “any corroborative evidence of his direct link”, the agency referred to him thrice in the charge-sheet. It said that his involvement in the conspiracy is “highly suspected”.
