ISI terror on tracks: All brag and no show, NIA finds

Following his arrest, Paswan had told the police that he had planted the bomb at the behest of the ISI.

All brag and no show is what the National Investigation Agency has found during the questioning of Moti Paswan in connection with the Ghorasan railway track bomb case. The NIA questioned several persons including Paswan after it was found that a bomb had been planted on a railway track at Ghorasan in Motihari district of Bihar.

The NIA has learnt that Paswan was just bragging about an ISI link. He had no role to play in planting the bomb, NIA officials said. The Bihar police had arrested, Paswan, Shanker Patel and Mukesh Yadav for allegedly planting the bomb on the track on October 1 2016.

Following his arrest, Paswan had told the police that he had planted the bomb at the behest of the ISI. He also said that he was taking instructions from his Nepal based handler, Shamshul Hoda.

The NIA says that it has found nothing to suggest that Paswan had planted the bomb. The chargesheet will be filed in the Ghorasan case. The NIA also says that it is conducting a separate probe into the Kanpur train derailment case in which 140 persons were killed.
