NLFT denies Jihadi's involvement in Tripura blast

Agartala, Oct 6 (UNI) Banned National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) today denied their involvement in the October One Tripura blasts and demanded justice while giving clean-chit to Jihadi terrorism.

Claiming him to be a spokesperson of the outfit from an undisclosed location to a local media organisation, an NLFT activist said over phone that they did not have any association with fundamentalist groups like ISI, HUJI, SIMI and Al-Quida.

He said Jihadi outfits were not involved in Agartala serial blasts and suspected that it might be a handiwork of RAW or other intelligence agencies, who did it to create panic before Eid and Durga Puja.

Even after five days of the incident, police was, meanwhile, neither able to find out any definite clue of the incident nor make any conclusive decision about the criminals while the intelligence officials were interrogating the arrested persons.

According to reports, the CID has been tracking all outgoing and incoming calls to and from the state people prior to blasts, especially from September 30 last. The authorities sought detail list of the callers and receivers, including STD and ISD calls from the tele service providers.

The intelligence sources claimed that the National Security Guards (NSG) and Central Forensic Laboratory officials had assured to draw the conclusion of the incident by next couple of days and make it clear that ingredients and mechanism of the bombs were similar to Jaipur, Bengaloru, Amhedabad and Delhi blasts.

''We are examining all the entries at check posts into Tripura from Bangladesh on the basis of religious faith and age group along with other important parameters,'' police officials said and added that all the documents of Indo-Bangladesh passports issued in favour of Indians from here in the past three months had been sought.
