New Delhi: The 13 arrested Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leaders in Madhya Pradesh are now being probed for terror links stretching from Karnataka in the south to Mumbai and Delhi in the north.
A team of Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is in Indore to question the arrested leaders in connection with the July 11, 2006, serial train blasts in Mumbai that killed over 180 people.
The 13 arrested include SIMI's General Secretary Safdar Nagori, who is said to have organised a meeting to plan the 7/11 blasts.
A police team from Karnataka, too, is in Indore to interrogate two of the arrested in connection with terror activities in the state.
There are also reports that the Special Investigation Team of the Haryana Police probing the Samjhauta Express blasts is also in Indore to question them.
All those arrested have been remanded to police custody by Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) SS Thakur till April 11.
The SIMI leaders were arrested and a large cache of weapons seized from them during a late Thursday night crackdown in Indore and the neighbouring Dhar district by the MP Police along with Central security agencies.
