Click to play videoNew Delhi: A day after the terror attack in the sanctum sanctorum of Ajmer’s famous shrine, the dargah of Moin-ud-din Chishti, Rajasthan police have held six people for interrogation, including pilgrims of Bangladeshi origin.
However, no arrests have been made in Thursday's blast which claimed two lives and left 20 injured, a senior official said.
“Police and intelligence agencies are interrogating suspected people, even pilgrims of Bangladesh origin besides investigation by forensic and state CID-Crime branch experts,” Additional Director-General of Police (Law and Order) Kanihya Lal said.
A bag containing an explosive device, two SIM cards, and pieces of a mobile phone have been found at the blast site.
Though, the blast site was cordoned off, the Jumma Namaz would be conducted inside the Dargah of Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti, officials said, adding preparations were afoot with deployment of armed forces.
Officials said BSF and Rajasthan Armed Constabulary personnel have been deployed near the dargah as a precautionary measure.
A high alert was sounded across Rajasthan and security at all religious places has been enhanced in the wake of the terror attack.
An official investigating the case said "17 close circuit TVs were installed but they are not working due to differences among khadims and the Dargah diwan.”
Terror struck the shrine on Thursday evening when a bomb exploded inside the complex killing two persons and injuring 20 others as thousands of Muslims were breaking their day-long Ramzan fast.
A near stampede broke out soon after the bomb kept in a tiffin box exploded.
The deceased were identified as Saleem of Hyderabad, and Mohammed Shoaib of Mumbai, the ADG said, adding the 20 injured included some pilgrims from Orissa, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Jammu and Kashmir.
