Ajmer (Rajasthan):On Friday, a day after the terror attack at the Dargah of Moin-ud-din Chishti in Ajmer, investigating agencies are suspecting the involvement of Bangaldeshi terror groups.

While six people have been detained for interrogation, including some pilgrims of Bangladeshi origin, no arrests have been made so far.

Investigating agencies also recovered a bag containing an explosive device at the entrance of the Dargah.

That the attack was part of a large pre-planned conspiracy has been borne out by the fact that sophisticated explosives were recovered from near one of the entrances of the shrine.

It is presumed that the explosive device was planted with the intent that once the low-intensity blast goes off, people would rush out of the shrine, where a bigger explosion would be triggered off to ensure maximum damage.

Sources say, the crude bomb used in the blast had ball bearings and sharp iron wedges. Two SIM cards and pieces of a mobile phone have also been found at the blast site.

Security agencies see a pattern similar to the Mecca Masjid blast in Hyderabad in May, in which a cell phone was also used to trigger the explosion in.

"We have sent a team of explosive experts to the site and they will examine the materials recovered from the site before arriving at a conclusion," Gulab Chand Kataria, the Home Minister of Rajasthan, said on Friday.

The damaged mobile phone found at the Dargah has been sent for forensic tests to ascertain its International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, which could help investigators track its user.

While investigations are still in the early stage, initial reports reveal that some of the CCTV cameras placed by the state government outside the Dargah were not functional.

"We had discussed the security issues with all agencies involved and on the basis of our assessment, we had placed CCTV cameras inside the complex to monitor any security breach at the Ajmer shrine," Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje had claimed.

But at the site, it was found that some of close circuit television cameras had been damaged long back. This revelation flies in the face of the state government's claim that the CCTV cameras inside the complex had been checked just four days ago.
