Statesman News Service JAIPUR, May 17: A special investigation team probing into the serial bomb blasts in Jaipur has reportedly arrested a SIMI activist from Sawai Madhopur district in the early morning today. The state police has released three more sketches of people suspected to be involved in the serial bomb blasts and announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh to anyone providing clues about the perpetrators of the blasts that killed 64 and left over 200 injured. Though the Jaipur police have not yet confirmed the report of the arrest of the SIMI activist, police sources in Sawai Madhopur have told 'The Statesman' that a special police team from Jaipur had indeed carried out an operation in their district.The arrested youth, reportedly named Sajid. was closely associated with a madrasa in Sawai Madhopur and is also believed to be a member of the Rajasthan wing of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Sajid apparently had close links with the SIMI operatives from Madhya Pradesh. The special team is also focusing on the madrasas operating in the Shekawati belt comprising of Jhunjhunu, Churu and Sikar which had come under the police scanner after the Ajmer Dargah blast. The region also has active hawala transaction network and the police are trying to trace out if money was channeled to fund any terrorist operations. "A number of people have come forward claiming that they have seen the suspects from the police sketches but we are yet to make any major breakthrough in the case," said Mr Saurabh Shrivastav, deputy inspector general of police.
