New Delhi, May 16: States neighbouring Jaipur have been asked to follow the trail of the leads so far been unearthed by the Rajasthan police and Central security agencies in the investigation of the serial blasts in the Pink City. Delhi and Uttar Pradesh have intensified vigil along the borders and are interrogating persons as well as criminals lodged in state jails in UP to elicit information which could help in the investigations.
The Delhi police, late on Thursday night, picked up two persons, one of those believed to be an Afghan, on the basis of information given to the police through a phone call. DCP (East) Ajay Chowdhary told this newspaper that the persons were picked up from East Delhi localities after the police received a phone call saying that these persons resembled the blast suspects whose sketches were released by the Rajasthan police. However, the police confessed that nothing substantial was found during the interrogation and the persons have been let off. "No incriminating information was found during the interrogation of these persons. They have been released," said Mr Chowdhary.
Police sources said that on receiving one phone call, the police zeroed in on house No. D-41 in one locality in East Delhi, but found it locked. Sources said that the occupant of the house was later called to the police station where he was questioned. In a separate incident, the police questioned another person whose face had similarities with that of one of the suspect sketches, sources said. However, with the probe resulting in a nought, no persons were detained.
Meanwhile, sources said that some terrorists lodged in state jails in UP, including in Lucknow, were being interrogated by the local police to get any information which might help in the blast probe. The special task force of the UP police is also in Jaipur to assist the Rajasthan police in investigation of the case.
