Haridwar ‘seer’ arrested for link to Hyd masjid blast​

Swami Aseemanand May Help Connect Ajmer, Mecca & Malegaon

New Delhi: The CBI on Friday claimed a major breakthrough in its probe against the Hindu terror web blamed for devastating attacks on Hyderabad’s Mecca Masjid, the Sufi shrine at Ajmer and earlier at Malegaon, with the arrest of a senior Abhinav Bharat ideologue who was hiding in a Hardwar ashram under the guise of a Hindu seer.

The arrest of Swami Aseemanand (59), named by CBI as an accused in Mecca Masjid terror attacks, will help the agency join the dots between Ajmer, Mecca and Malegaon as investigators believe he scripted all three attacks. The agency is also learnt to have confiscated several documents and has telephone phone tap transcripts that proved the role of Aseemanand and his fellow plotters from Abhinav Bharat.

The CBI termed the arrest as a major catch that could lead to two absconding accused in the case — Sunil Dangre and Ramchandra Kalsangra. There is a reward of Rs 10 lakh each for the two.

Aseemanand, a botany graduate from Hoogly in West Bengal, has been variously known as Jatin Chatterjee and Naba Kumar Sarkar. CBI said that he was living under an assumed name and sleuths found a passport issued by RPO Kolkata, a ration card and an election card issued by Hardwar authorities from his possession.

CBI brought the fake seer to Delhi and produced him before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Ajay Pandey at the Tis Hazari court which allowed the plea of CBI to take him to a court in Hyderabad within 48 hours. He will be produced there on Sunday. CBI sources said they had informed officials of the National Investigative Agency and Rajasthan ATS for a joint interrogation as there several contradictions were likely to appear during his examination. His name also finds mentions in the chargesheet filed by Rajasthan ATS in Ajmer blasts cases. He has been on the run after the arrest of Malegaon terror attack suspect Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur in 2008. The CBI and Maharashtra ATS had carried out searches in 2009-10 at various places in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat after receiving information about his presence.

From Hooghly to Haridwar via Dangs​

Surat: Before his avatar as a religious fanatic, Aseemanand was Jatin Chatterjee, a botany student at Hooghly in West Bengal. He changed his name after he got close to some saffron groups in his home state. The selfstyled godman came to Gujarat in the late nineties to launch a ‘re-conversion’ movement of sorts in the tribal Dangs district, where he would baptise the minorities with water from the hot springs and declare them Hindus.

Aseemanand held discourses in Dangs, Valsad and Navsari and started ‘reconverting’ Christian tribals to Hinduism by organising a bath at Unai temple which had hot springs. Legend has it that Sita used to bath in these springs found by Lord Ram.

Investigative agencies believe that blasts in minority-dominated areas were first planned during meetings at Shabri Kumbh Mela in February, 2006. TNN

Great Job, we always blame Pakistan for 'mullah' culture, we also need to reallize that Dera/Sant/Ashram culture in India has nothing to do with spirituality, all are vote bank politics, Such people further exacerbate ethnic tensions. Living Gods in India are very very rich. In this case I hate all RSS/BJP/VHP whatever BS, and admire Chinese stance on religion.
