Three suspected militants were arrested from the Rojhan sub-district of Rajanpur in Punjab on Thursday, Express News reported.
According to the police, they belonged to the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
It was reported that the suspected militants admitted to being involved in the Khushhal Khan Khattak Express blast.
Six kilogrammes of explosive material were also recovered.
On February 16, at least six people – including four children – were killed and more than 35 injured when two coaches of the Peshawar-bound Khushhal Khan Khattak Express had derailed after a bomb attack.
The high-intensity bomb was detonated on the tracks near a canal, 15 kilometres away from Thull town of Jacobabad district. The blast, which was heard all over Thull, had left a five-foot crater in the ground.
