Jaipur blasts suspect held in Delhi

NEW DELHI: A man suspected to be involved in the Jaipur serial blasts, which killed over 60 people and injured more than 200, was arrested here late Wednesday, police said. The militant, whose identity was not revealed, was nabbed from Chelmsford Road, the stretch leading to New Delhi Railway Station from Connaught Place, at around 8:30 pm. The arrest by Delhi Police's Special Cell came following a tip off from intelligence agencies. "There was an intelligence input that a militant is coming to Delhi," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Alok Kumar told reporters. Kumar refused to provide the identity of the militant or where he came from. "We have just started interrogating him. We cannot reveal everything now," he added. The militant's arrest here comes in the backdrop of serial blasts in the Pink City last week.
