It has been a routine practice for past many years that whenever any terrorism incident occurred in India, the Indian leadership and investigation and intelligence services immediately blamed Pakistani intelligence service and Indian Muslims but the recent arrest of a serving officer of the Indian army and disclosures made by him have proved otherwise.
If the interrogation of the arrested Indian army officer has absolved Pakistan of involvement in some of the terrorism incidents on the Indian soil on the one hand, it proved that extremism and terrorism is not specific to Muslims only but extremists and terrorists could also be found among followers of some other faiths.
Indian Army Lieutenant Colonel PS Purohit procured the explosives used in the 2007 Samjhota Express train bombing and 2008 Malegaon blast, Indian police told a court in Nashik city on Saturday.Maharashtra police said the colonel had obtained 60 kilogrammes of the explosive from Jammu and Kashmir in 2006 according to a witness in the Malegaon blast case. The court remanded the colonel in police custody until November 18.
Meanwhile, Hindu ascetic Sadhvi Pragya Singh and Lt Col Purohit tested negative in narco tests on direct involvement in the Samjhota Express bombing, but gave important clues about their clandestine network. The Mumbai Police ATS is now tracing two followers of Sadhvi and an Indore-based Hindu Jagran Manch that they believe are the ‘missing link’ in the Samjhota Express bombing, said a senior security official who is part of the investigations.
The suitcases that were used to blow up three carriages of Samjhota Express were traced to Indore, which has emerged as a hub of clandestine activities of Hindu militant groups.
The investigation has revealed how confidence-building measures including train service between archrival India and Pakistan were sabotaged to achieve twin objectives of derailing the peace initiatives between the two countries and maligning the Indian Muslims.
Mumbai Anti-Terrorist Squad has claimed that Lt Col Shrikant Purohit, who was arrested in connection with the Malegaon blast, was also involved with the 2007 Samjhauta blast.Quoting from the Narco analysis test of Purohit, ATS said to the Nashik court that the accused had used RDX to carry out the blast in which 68 people were killed.
Putting an end to all speculation, the anti-terror branch of Mumbai Police said that Army RDX was used and not sourced from across the border.
Purohit was in possession of about 60 kg of RDX way back in 2006, when he was posted in Deolali camp of Indian army 16 kilometres from Nashik. Out of 60 kg, he had used a portion in the Samjhauta blast. But what is intriguing is that the investigation agency has no clue about the remaining RDX.
This theory came in sharp contrast with the earlier investigation of Samjhauta blast, in which, it was concluded that not RDX, instead, IED and some liquid chemicals were used.
Meanwhile, the Nashik court has extended the police custody of Purohit till November 18 from November 15.
Earlier, the Lt Colonel had said to the court that he was not ill treated by the ATS personnel as claimed by his family.

Dont worry this is india's old habbit, because they are not capable to handle any serious situation in their own country so they have learnt the easiest way which is blame others.
And their own army officer is involved in samjhota express case and that's why the hindu fundamentalists created the new drama of bombay attacks.
And the world should think logically that what is Pakistan's intreset to do such things in india? We have alot of problems and why should we do something like that. And india is the most beneficiary of this darama because the officer who was investigating the samjhota express case has been killed in this attack. and there are many other reasons as well they have elections this year , got worlds sympthy etc....

India is baiscally a failed secular state.Economic boom is not enough for any country but when when you say that you are a secular state it means that religion has nothing to do with the state affairs but what indians are doing with the Christians,Sikh and the Muslim Community of India,and when you fire anybody church,Masjid and the other religious places then it bound to have a reaction like Mumbai attacks.So in my point of View Mumbai Attack was the result of the internal Hatred of Muslim and Christian and Sikh Communities in India.
India is still bound to be divided in more parts atleast in four more part one for each Muslim,Sikh,Christian and Hindus and the Hindus State will what be called as "Hindustan" or what they called a "Akhand Bharat......which will come true but "Hindustan" will be a very small state (A much lesser than Pakistan)

The Indian government managed to brutally crush Sikh, Muslim and Tamil uprisings it is hard to decide who the ruling elite hates more Muslims or low cast Dalits.. but all hail to them that they are able to seduce and mesmerize the word with Bolliwood and Yoga.. the guy who killed Gandhi just because he reluctantly agreed to the creation of Pakistan is described as doing it with a selfless act of purity.. just shows the mindset of the people who shape the policy of this nation. How they are able to scare its people with name of ISI and don’t waste a moment to blame any tragedy on Pakistan is simply amazing.
They are able to sell their point of view and story and in this world that’s all that count.. lie so much and so consistently that people start believing it.
