AJMER: Rajasthan police is interrogating some suspects, including pilgrims of Bangladeshi origin, in connection with the blast at the revered Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti here where Friday prayers will go ahead as scheduled.
Some suspects are being interrogated since last night but no arrests have been made in yesterday's blast which claimed two lives and left 17 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 & Order) Kanihya Lal told the media here.
Though the blast site was cordoned off, the Jumma Namaz would be conducted inside the Dargah of Khawaja Moinudeen Chisti, he said, adding preparations were afoot with deployment of armed forces.
The ADG said BSF and RAC (Rajasthan Armed Constabulary) personnel were deployed last night as a precautionary measure.
A high alert was sounded across Rajasthan and security at all religious places enhanced in the wake of terror attack.
An official investigating the case said "seventeen close circuit TVs were installed but they are not working due to differences among khadims and the Dargah diwan".
