Published

NEW DELHI, Nov 13: The missing laptop of Indian army officer Lt-Col Prasad Purohit, who has been arrested in connection with the Malegaon bomb blast, has been found, say reports.

According to the reports, the investigating authority hopes to obtain crucial information about bomb blasts in Muslim areas of India and about the persons who got training in handling explosives.

The computer is suspected to contain details of a Hindu outfit, Abhinav Bharat. Ten suspects have been arrested so far in connection with the Sept 29 blast in which eight people were killed and about 80 others were injured. They said that investigators were also trying to trace a possible link of Col Purohit with the Samjhauta Express fire which killed 68 people, mostly Pakistanis, in February last year.—APP
