Patna blasts case: Terrorists planned blasts on messaging site

New Delhi, Nov 6: After finding links between the Patna serial blasts and the blasts in Bodh Gaya, investigators are now saying that the Patna blasts and those in Bodh Gaya in Bihar were directed from Pakistan, where Riyaz Bhatkal is believed to be hiding.

According to reports, the investigators claim that they have intercepted several chats on instant messaging site Nimbuzz between Riyaz and Tehseen Akhtar.

Tehseen is said to be running the Indian Mujahideen group in India ever since, Yasin Bhatkal was arrested.

Investigators say that Riyaz was giving direct orders on terror strikes using the messaging site.
