Two weeks after the serial blasts ripped through the national capital, Delhi Police claimed to have cracked the case with the arrest of a Pakistan-based militant group Lashker-e-Taiba militant who allegedly coordinated and financed the operation.
Tariq Ahmed Dar (32), who was working as a sales representative of multinational pharmaceutical firm Johnson and Johnson, had allegedly hatched the plot along with two Lashker ultras of Jammu and Kashmir Abu Al Qama and Abu Huzefa, Delhi Police Commissioner K K Paul said.
Just days before the blasts, Rs 4.86 lakh had been deposited to Tariq's HDFC Bank account in Srinagar from a Middle-East country. The money was meant for financing the blasts in which RDX, though not in its pure form, was used, Paul said.
He said at least four persons were involved in the October 29 triple blasts which killed 60 people and injured more than 200 others.
While two of the conspirators and executers are from Jammu and Kashmir, the others were "foreign nationals," Paul said without identifying their nationality.
Putting at rest speculation that the blasts were the joint handiwork of LeT and Hizbul Mujahideen, the police chief said investigations so far showed the involvement of only LeT.
