[SNEHALT]

We have given so many adjectives to mumbai- SALAAM MUMBAI, UNDYING SPIRIT OF MUMBAI, NEVER- SAY - DIE. But if we think deeply do we have any option. We get out of our house - board the 9.04 Churchgate train .......... with fear in the back of our mind " Will i reach home today safe and sound??" , "Is this the last time that i am seeing my dear ones" . Yes fear - it will be with us all our lives like a shadow. So wat should we stop living, should we succumb to our fears. No we are not. Not atleast for the petty games of politicians.

2 minitues of silence............... yes that was the moment. The trains stopped, schools, colleges, public transport stopped, there was silence everywhere......... not a single word was spoken. It was the homage that we all paid to innocents who lost their dear lives. What will happen after these 2 mins......... we shall forget at once......... but what about those families........ they will remain grieving all their lives for the loss of their dear ones.

What is needed right now are not the condolences but ACTIONS. ACTIONS that ensure that no such incidences happen again. No family again loses their Father, Mother, Daughter, Son, Wife, Husband.....

Making a breakthrough in Mumbai train blasts, police have arrested three persons, including two from Bihar, for their alleged involvement in the July 11 terror strikes and seized 1.5 kg of gun powder from one of them.

Those arrested by Maharashtra Anti-Terrorists Squad (ATS) were identified as Kamal Ahmed Mohd. Vakil Ansari, 32, and Khalid Aziz Raunaq Aziz Sheikh, 24, both residents of Bihar, and Mumtaz Ahmed Maqbul Ahmed Choudury, 38, a resident of Turbhe in Navi Mumbai, police said.

Kamal and Khalid, who were arrested from Basopatti village in Bihar's Madhubani district, were flown to Mumbai on Friday and along with Mumtaz were produced before a local court here which remanded the trio to ten-day's police custody till July 30.

All the three have been charged under various sections of IPC, including murder, attempt to murder, causing hurt by dangerous weapons, various sections of Explosive Substance Act, Indian Explosives Act and Indian Railways Act.

ATS officials told Magistrate A V Shete told the that they had searched the house of Ansari and seized 1.5 kg of black coloured gunpowder from his premises. The officials also told the court that they had seized mobile phones from the accused.

These are the first arrests in the case, and ATS officials were hopeful of making a headway in the probe, sources said. Home Minister R R Patil told the assembly that three persons have been arrested and the blasts probe was progressing at a rapid pace.

Initial reports indicated that the trio had provided logistic support to the perpetrators of the blasts but ATS sources said their role in the serial blasts would be known after their interrogation.

ATS officials told the court that Ansari was not able to give a satisfactory answer on why he possesed the gunpowder. They also said Kamal and Khalid were arrested at 2 pm on Thursday and flown to Mumbai. Preliminary investigations have revealed their complicity in the serial blasts and asked the court to remand them to police custody for custodial interrogation.

The court observed that charges levelled against the accused were of serious nature and their custodial interrogation was necessary.

Preliminary investigations have indicated the involvement of terror groups from Nepal and Bangladesh in the train blasts here and this points at the "direct or indirect" involvement of Pakistan, a top police official said here on Friday.

KP Raghuvanshi, the chief of Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorist Squad, said, "Investigations so far reveal the involvement of terror groups from Nepal and Bangladesh and (this) in turn, points at the direct or indirect involvement of Pakistan."

He told reporters there was "definite evidence" that the blasts were part of a larger conspiracy involving more players but refused to divulge details.

Raghuvanshi said it was too early to comment on which terror organisation was involved in the blasts, but said that Kamal Ahmed Ansari -- one of the three suspects arrested on Friday -- was booked by Delhi Police some years ago for possession of an AK-47 assault rifle.

On why the stringent MCOCA has not been invoked against the three arrested men, he said that the arrests did not attract the requisite conditions of MCOCA. "The Act can be invoked only if the accused has been chargesheeted in at least two cases," he said.

He refused to comment on the individual role of the arrested men in the blasts, saying, "I will present the evidence against them in court in due course."
