The Rajasthan Anti-Terror Squad has arrested the bomb-maker in the Ajmer Dargah blast case. He happens to be a main accused in the Vadodara Best Bakery carnage also.
Harshad Bhai Solanki alias Munna alias Raj, belonging to the Hanuman Tekri Katchi Basti of Vadodara, was nabbed in Gujarat and brought here and arrested on Monday. A court here remanded him to police custody till November 9.
Harshad Bhai was an accomplice of Sunil Joshi, main accused in the October 2007 Ajmer blast case and remained with him till the latter was murdered at Dewas in Madhya Pradesh on December 29, 2007.
Additional Director General of Police Kapil Garg, who is also in-charge of the ATS, said Harshad played an active role in gathering bomb-making material, assembling them and packaging the bombs to Ajmer.
In April 2004, the Supreme Court ordered that the case be tried in Maharashtra.
"When 17 of the 21 accused in the Best Bakery case could be re-arrested, Harshad managed to escape. He was among the four who were absconding," Mr. Garg said.
