The Bihar police has reportedly arrested three local criminals, including Moti Paswan for planting an IED bomb on the railway track in Jagiraha village near Ghorasan railway station, near the East Champaran district in October last year. The bomb was, however, detected iand was diffused by the Motihari police and Bomb Disposal Squad, and a major tragedy was averted, according to The Telegraph.
The three accused were then arrested in the case, that was at the time being considered as a suspected Maoist sabotage.
According to Times Now, the accused on interrogation revealed that they were in touch with a Nepalese national Braj Kishore Giri, who was funding them to carry out such incidents. Giri was nabbed by the Nepalese police, and during his interrogation, it was revealed that he, in turn, was in touch with some people in Dubai who were allegedly linked to the ISI.
Reports on India Today, also stated that a Nepalese national was financed by a man called Shamshool Hoda based in Dubai, who has close links with Dawood Ibrahim and ISI.
The accused have also confirmed that they were paid to remove the fish plates of railway tracks which led to the derailment of Indore-Patna Express in November last year, a tragedy that killed 146 people.
The CNN-News 18 also reported that the police have found that one of the accused, Moti Paswan, frequented Kanpur around the time the deadly train accident took place.
The police, although yet to corroborate these allegations, is taking these revelations seriously and has requested the Anti-Terror Squad to probe possible terror links in the case.
Meanwhile, India Today, also reported that an ATS squad has been sent to Motihari to interrogate the accused and establish if the money trail indeed lead to elements from across the border.
