Four days after a bomb blast killed 13 people and injured over 70 others outside Delhi High Court,the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Jammu Kashmir Police were yet to trace the Harkat-Ul-Jehadi-Islami activist who had sent the e-mail some media houses claiming responsibility for the Wednesday terror attack in the union capital.
Even though the e-mail was traced to a cyber café in Kishtwar and the sender having made some international calls as well,there have been no conclusive leads about him despite the NIA team and senior police officers camping there for the last three days. After having detained over half a dozen suspect for questioning during the last three days,the police teams continued picking up school and college students from outside their educational institutions and private coaching centres during the day today.
Even today,over a dozen students who used to visit Global Internet Café to surf the net were brought to the District Police Lines at Kishtwar for questioning by NIA and senior police officials including Deputy Inspector General of Police for Doda-Ramban-Kishtwar range,Muneesh Kumar Sinha. However,except for four Sanjay Sharma,Sunny Sharma,Rajinder Kumar and Ashiq Hussain,all others were let off after questioning.
With todays detentions,the number of suspects so far kept in custody by police have reached six as it has already detained a college student Mohammad Shohaib and the café manager Ashwani Kumar. The café owner Khawaja Mehmood Aziz and his brother Khalid too are being questioned,but they have not been detained by police.
While senior police officers were evasive as success continued to elude them ever since their camping in Kishtwar from Thursday,sources said that their investigations were inconclusive in view of many lose ends. In this connection,sources pointed out that the investigators were puzzled as to how the server at Delhi had recorded receipt of the e-mail half an hour earlier before it had been actually sent from Jammu server.
”The mail sent timing recorded at Jammu server was correct,but the Delhi server was showing its receipt half an hour earlier, said a senior police officer who wished not to be named. ”This is a complicated case which has been further complicated due to non-maintenance of records of net surfers visiting the café by its owners and the same mobile number passing many hands in connivance with private cellular operators, said the officer.
