With the arrest of a Muslim cleric at Sajjangarh village in Banswara, Rajasthan police are hoping to get some vital leads from him about Jaipur bomb blasts, in which 68 people were killed.
The State police officials are in close touch with their Gujarat counterparts as they are not ruling out the possibility of his involvement in Ahmedabad bomb blasts.
<b>Ifzur Rahaman, who was found moving in suspicious manner, was nabbed by local residents near a masjid in the wee hours of Saturday. His leg was fractured, when he tried to escape. Later, he was handed over to the police.
It may be recalled that Mogali, one of the suspects behind Godhara killings, was also arrested from the same village in July 2005.
Though he has given his name to the police as Ifzur Rehman, the identity card, found during the arrest, says his name is Mohmmad Imram Khan. The identity card was issued in March 1991 from Manipur, though he told the police that he belonged to Bharauch district of Gujarat</b>.
The police recovered Rs 22,000 and several train tickets from him. The tickets reveal that during the past three months he had visited places like New Bongaigaon (Assam), Ajmer, Ahmedabad, Surat and Madhepur (Bihar).
A team of Special Official Group (SOG) of Rajasthan has reached Udaipur where he was referred in a hospital following the fracture in his leg, to interrogate him. The Gujarat police have been asked to verify whether he is a resident of Ikpur village of Bharauch as claimed by him.
