Patna blasts: NIA gets house, car to facilitate probe

RANCHI: The NIA sleuths today got a house and a vehicle from the Ranchi police, apparently to interrogate suspects in connection with the October 27 Patna serial bomb blasts.

"They asked a car and a house and we have provided them both," the officer said here.

When asked whether any accused accompanied the NIA sleuths from Patna today for investigation at a place in Dhurwa, he officer said he did not know.

The NIA has conducted several searches in a locality near Dhurwa soon after the Patna blasts and had arrested one person from Doranda in the city last month.

The police had also recovered nine powerful timer-fitted bombs from a locality in Ranchi on November 4 and the materials of the explosives matched with those exploded in Patna.
