Though Madhya Pradesh police are tight-lipped in this regard, all the indications are directed towards SIMI activists Abu Faisal, who was arrested from a hotel in the Gwaltoli area of the city in 2006 while attending a meeting of the banned organisation. He was release later on bail.
According to sources, Faisal has been actively involved in anti-national and illegal activities since his release and was absconding after March 27, 2007.
Police Superintendent Anshuman Singh Yadav told PTI that he was unable to say anything on the issue and said that so far Jaipur (Rajasthan) Police had not contacted the state police.
However, he said that Madhya Pradesh police were in search of Faisal, but it has nothing to do with Jaipur bomb blasts.
He also parried questions on arrival of a five-member police team from Jaipur to question certain people, including the arrested SIMI activists. The Madhya Pradesh police are rejecting the news in this regard.
