Samjhauta Express Was On Hitlist Of Hinduvta Terrorists
There could be a breakthrough in the deadlocked investigation into the bombings in the Samjhauta Express and the Jama Masjid in Delhi.
For the first time, there is an official admission by an investigating agency that these two were on the hitlist of Hindutva terrorists involved in Ajmer Sharif, Malegaon and the Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad.
The Rajasthan Anti-Terrorism Squad's 806-page chargesheet on the Ajmer blasts says the module behind these three targets had sinister plans to target the Samjhauta Express and Jama Masjid as well. It was not clear though whether this terror cell could execute with its plan.
Over 60 Pakistanis died in the Samjhauta Express blast on February 19, 2007, while 13 people were wounded in blasts inside Jama Masjid on April 14, 2006 - months after this module (according to the Rajasthan ATS) chose them as targets at a meeting chaired by Swami Asimanand in February 2006.
The five targets were apparently chosen at a marathon meeting in Gujarat by the module comprising Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, Swami Asimanand, Ramji Kalsangre, Sandeep Dange and Sunil Joshi, the chargesheet says.
"From February 11 to 13 in 2006, Swami Asimanand organised a Shabri Kumbh at his Shabri Dham in Gujarat. All the hardline Hindu activists like Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, Sunil Joshi, Ramji Kalsangre, Lokesh Sharma and Sandeep Dange took part at the meeting and discussed avenging the terror attacks at the Akshardham temple in Gujarat in 2002 and other Hindu religious shrines. They drew up a list of five targets - Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid, Malegaon, Ajmer Sharif and Jama Masjid," it says.
A source said Lokesh Sharma, the man who did a recce of Ajmer Sharif, confirmed this meeting after his arrest.
The bombs used in the Samjhauta Express are believed to have been assembled in Indore. But the suspected bomber, Sunil Joshi, was found mysteriously murdered in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh on December 27, 2007.
These details could let the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the Samjhauta Express case, vital leads.
