After announcing a cash reward of Rs 10 lakhs each on providing information leading to the arrest of Sandeep Dange and Ramchandra Kalsangra in connection with the investigation into the Mecca Masjid blast case 2007, the CBI is likely to send a team to Madhya Pradesh again for collecting files related to the murder of Sunil Joshi, the alleged mastermind of the Ajmer blast.
Sources in the agency said that mystery behind Joshi’s murder would further help the agencies in solving Ajmer, Mecca Masjid and Malegaon blasts cases. The anti-terrorist squad of Rajasthan, as well as the CBI, want to know the reasons behind the mysterious murder of Sunil Joshi. Joshi was shot dead by some unidentified persons at Dewas in MP on December 29, 2007. Sources alleged that the Madhya Pradesh police was not cooperating with the Rajasthan ATS and central investigating agency. Earlier, a team of officials of the Rajasthan ATS and central investigating agencies had been sent to Indore in connection with the investigation.
