The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the serial bomb blasts at Bodh Gaya's Mahabodhi temple, has arrested a Hindu priest, Arup Brahmachari, police said Wednesday.


"The NIA team, with the help of the police, arrested Arup Brahmachari who was absconding after the blasts," an officer of the Bodh Gaya police station said.

Brahmachari, hailing from West Bengal and staying at Bodh Gaya, has been lodged in Rampur police station of Gaya town due to security reasons, the officer said.

"The NIA team will interrogate him," he added.

A breakthrough still eludes the NIA, investigating the July 7 blasts in which 10 bombs exploded while three other devices were defused.

NIA, cops deny arrest of priest for Bodh Gaya blasts.
STAFF REPORTER

Refuting news reports of an arrest in the Bodh Gaya multiple blasts case, the Gaya police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) denied any such development.

According to earlier news reports, a Hindu priest, Arup Brahmachari, was arrested in connection with the July 7 serial blasts at the Mahabodhi temple in Gaya.

When asked for confirmation, an NIA source told The Hindu, “No such person is being questioned in NIA case.”

Gaya senior superintendent of police (SSP) Vinay Kumar told The Hindu, that Brahmachari was detained for sending offensive emails to the district administration.

“He claims to be a priest. He has been sending abusive mails to the district magistrate and other administration officials regarding corruption in the Bodh Gaya Temple Management Committee (BTMC) for nearly two to three years. We were looking for him. Some are saying he is mentally unsound. There is no clue or evidence linking him to the blast,” Mr. Kumar said.

The Gaya police, he said, were lodging an FIR against Brahmachari under section 66 (hacking with computer system) of the Information Technology Act and relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for using foul language. “He will be produced in court. It is up to the court whether to grant him bail.”

Asked if the NIA would be questioning him in connection with the blast case, the SSP said it was for the agency to decide.

All the sources you posted were news which was last updated at 4.30 PM but the news which denied the connection to the blast was much more latest as it was last updated at 6.30 PM.

Anyways Gaya SSP himself has denied that the arrest was in connection to Gaya blasts.

Gaya senior superintendent of police (SSP) Vinay Kumar told The Hindu, that Brahmachari was detained for sending offensive emails to the district administration.

“He claims to be a priest. He has been sending abusive mails to the district magistrate and other administration officials regarding corruption in the Bodh Gaya Temple Management Committee (BTMC) for nearly two to three years.
