On a day when many in the Government and outside were trying to figure out who had carried out Saturday8217;s Hyderabad blasts, one person who might have had something to offer on that front8212;CBI Director Vijay Shankar8212;appeared otherwise pre-occupied. The agency was entrusted with investigations into May8217;s Mecca Masjid blasts after the state police failed to make any significant progress. Saturday8217;s explosions reinforced the need to look at links between the two incidents and the possibility that the same group or groups could be involved. But for most of Sunday, Shankar was 8220;busy8221;. He was golfing out another important member of the establishment8212;the outgoing head of the Research 038; Analysis Wing8217;s Aviation Research Centre ARC, Ajay Singh.
