New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party President Rajnath Singh questioned why Sadvhi Pragya Singh Thakur has had to undergo so many brain mapping tests

"All terrorist should be dealt with firmly. There should not by any harassment to any of the accused. But I have not seen any accused terrorist going through so many brain mapping tests," Rajnath said.

The sadhvi has undergone brain mapping, psychological profiling, polygraph (lie detector) and narco-analysis tests. However, officials said the tests did not yield any results.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Srikant Prasad Purohit, the key accused of the Malegaon blast case, is now being questioned for his alleged involvement in the Nanded blast case too.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad sources have told CNN-IBN that Lt Col Purohit had given training to the Nanded blast accused at a fort near Pune.

Sources reveal that Lt Col Purohit had introduced himself as Mithun Chakrabarti during the training.

Investigations by the ATS has also put more army officers in the probe radar.

After the arrest of the Lt Col, two more serving Colonels and a retired Lieutenant General are on the Maharashtra ATS' radar.

The blast in Nanded had taken place on April 6, 2006 at the residence of a retired irrigation department engineer and Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh activist Lakshman Rajkondawar.

Rajkondawar's son Naresh Lakshman Rajkondwar and Himanshu Venkatesh Panse were killed in the blast while four others - Yogesh Ravindra Deshpande Vidholkar, Maroti Kishore Wagh, Gururaj Jayaram Tuptewar and Rahul Manoharao Pande - were seriously injured.

Pande managed to flee from the scene of the explosion, but was arrested later.
