New Delhi:
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to tell Pakistan that India cannot share details of the Samjhauta blast probe right now, as investigations are at a preliminary stage and it would be premature.
This comes a day after Pakistan asked India to provide an early update to it on the investigations into the 2007 Samjhauta Express train bombing in the wake of RSS leader Swami Aseemanand's confession about the involvement of Sangh activists in the attack.
India's acting Deputy High Commissioner G V Srinivas was called to the Foreign Office by Director General (South Asia) Afrasiab Mehdi Hashmi, who said information on progress in the investigations should be provided by New Delhi "at the earliest".
Aseemanand, 59, recently confessed to the involvement of Sangh activists in several terrorist attacks, including the bombing of the Samjhauta Express that killed as many as 68 people, including 42 Pakistan nationals.
Meanwhile, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has announced cash rewards for those who help locate three suspects, Sandeep Dange, Ramchandra Kalsangra and Ashok, in connection with the Samjhauta Express bomb blast. (
