Almost seven months after serial blasts rocked four Assam towns killing around 100 people,the CBI on Monday filed its chargesheet in which 19 people,including Ranjan Daimary,chairman of the outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland NDFB,are understood to have been named.

A senior investigating officer of the CBI,who submitted the voluminous chargesheet in a sealed cover to the special judge in Guwahati,refused to divulge the contents of the chargesheet. He,however,said the hearing on the cases would begin on June 9.

Three among the 19 people,who have been named for hatching the conspiracy and then carrying out the explosions,are already in police custody after being arrested over the past few months.

While NDFB chief Daimary has reportedly been identified as the prime conspirator and prime accused in the case,three outfit members including a woman,Jayanti Brahma,Ajay Basumatary and Nilim Daimary,are in custody.

At least 150 witnesses have been also listed in the chargesheet,it has been found.

While three explosions had taken place in Guwahati,one blast each had occurred in Bongaigaon,Barpeta Road and Kokrajhar around 11:45 am on October 30 last year.

Sources,meanwhile,said the cases pertaining to all the six explosions were subsequently clubbed together for investigations by the CBI because of prima facie evidence that all of them were part of the same conspiracy hatched by the same set of people.
