The man detained is Sajjid, a teacher in a madrasa from a small town under Swai Madhopur district. “We have brought him to Jaipur for questioning,” said Jaipur deputy inspector-general of police Sourabh Srivastava.
Swai Madhopur district is believed to be a base for Simi’s activities. The police on Saturday released three more sketches of terror suspects and also announced a reward of Rs 10 lakhs for information about the people who carried out the blasts that killed 64 people and injured over 200 in Jaipur. Additional directorgeneral of police (crime) A.K. Jain said Sajjid was picked up from Udai village, but bore no resemblance to any of the sketch es released by the state police. In all, sketches of seven suspects have so far been released and more are expected. On Friday night, the UP police detained a number of persons, including the landlord of one Afzal Khan, whose identity card was found in a car after the blasts in Jaipur. On the basis of the address mentioned in the I-card, the anti-terrorist squad of the state police picked up a person from his Hussainganj residence where Khan was stated to be staying.
