Asserting that Pakistan-based terrorists were
involved in the July 11, 2006 bomb blasts in Mumbai, the Maharashtra government
on Friday said police would soon "submit" evidence about this.
"Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf
has spoken about proving the involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in the
blast. Let me inform the House that our police will soon submit proof of the
involvement of Pakistan-based terrorist organisations in the blasts,"
Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil told the state assembly.
In a televised address to the nation, Musharraf
had on Thursday asked the Indian government to provide proof about organisations
involved in the attacks so that Pakistan could fully cooperate in the investigation
into the blasts.
Patil, who holds the home portfolio, made
his statement after Deputy Speaker Pramod Shende sought more details from
him about the arrest of three men suspected of involvement in the July 11,
2006 blasts on commuter trains that killed 200 people.
Earlier in the day, Patil had made a statement
in the House about the arrest of the three suspects, two of whom were nabbed
in Bihar near the border with Nepal.
He had identified the arrested men as Kamal
Ahmed Mohammad Vakil Ansari (32), Khalid R Shaikh (24) and Mumtaz Maqbul Ahmed
(34), adding that the probe into the blasts is "progressing at a rapid
pace".
