Ajmer: Three people have so far been arrested in the Ajmer Dargah blast case. The Rajasthan ATS has now moved an Ajmer court to allow Narco, brain mapping and lie detector tests on the arrested suspects. With all those accused in this blast allegedly linked to the RSS, the Sangha is under the scanner. (

The suspects also had links with the Abhinav Bharat, the radical Hindu group that allegedly masterminded the Malegaon blasts. However, the RSS has denied any link with the blast and has said that the allegations are only an attempt to malign its image.
A second key suspect in the Rajasthan police net, Chandra Shekhar is to be produced at an Ajmer Court for his alleged involvement in the terror strike on the Ajmer Dargah.
He was arrested on Friday from Shujapur in Madhya Pradesh and is considered a crucial member of the module formed to carry out the Ajmer blast. ATS sources say he's been an RSS
pracharaak for years.
Following his arrest the police are now confident of catching the culprits who targeted the Sufi shrine.
ATS chief and Rajasthan and Additional Director General, Rajasthan Police, Kapil Garg, says, "The Court would not have given us remand of these culprits without a strong reason. Without a proper basis we would not have arrested them nor would we have got remand for them. Once our investigation is complete, all facts will emerge."
Chandra Shekhar's arrest comes close on the heels of the arrest of Devendra Gupta from Ajmer on Wednesday. Gupta had allegedly been running an RSS wing in Jharkhand's Jamtara district for the past several years but the RSS denies the charges.
Ram Madhav, RSS Spokesperson says, "They are making a wrong effort to drag the Sangha's name into a terror strike. They are making such efforts only to give innocent people and a good organisation like the RSS a bad name."
Despite the party's denial, Gupta's family has admitted his link with the RSS for over a decade.
Devendra Gupta's mother, Pushpa Devi says, "Sangha members used to train him from childhood. I wanted to stop him from joining them but he didn't listen to us. He got involved with the Sangha and then it became a passion for him."
With the arrest of two suspects linked to the RSS, the Ajmer blast case has created a storm. All eyes are now on the police as they unravel the full conspiracy behind the blast that shook a Dargah which has been a prime symbol of India's composite culture for centuries.
