New Delhi, Mar 28: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is appeared to have decided not to probe into the possible link between Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and RSS activist Aseemanand, who is an accused in multiple terror attacks in India.
A 2009 US charge sheet and 2010 UN citation accused Mr. Qasmani of funding both the Samjhauta blast as well as the 2006 Mumbai train bombings. NIA DG Sharad Kumar had raised the issue of Mr. Qasmani under the MLAT or Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) among other pending issues.
Cases against Aseemanand
The NIA had filed a charge sheet in 2010 in the Samjhauta blast case against eight accused persons, including Aseemanand alias Naba Kumar Sarkar.
Aseemanand was granted bail on August 28, 2014 by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in the said case and the NIA decided not to challenge his bail.
He continued to be in prison as he was also an accused in the Hyderabad Mecca Masjid and Ajmer Dargah blasts in 2007.
Earlier this month, he was acquitted in the Ajmer Dargah blast case and granted bail in the Mecca Masjid case last week.
