Ajmer blast case: RSS bosses under CBI scanner

NEW DELHI: Two RSS leaders have come under the CBI scanner for allegedly shielding the 2007 Ajmer blasts accused, Times Now reported on Saturday.

Times Now report quoted CBI sources as saying that senior RSS functionaries from Uttar Pradesh – Ashok Varshney and Ashok Berry – not only gave shelter to accused Devender Gupta but also organised his stay in Lucknow and Sitapur in the state.

Sources also said that Devender made these startling confessions in the presence of Varshney and Berry before the CBI sleuths.

Umar Daan, lawyer of the accused, however alleged his clients were being "politically targeted".

"'CBI has a political agenda. They are framing the people with certain mindset and notions. These leaders are not involved in any anti-social activities," said Umar Daan.

Meanwhile, the CBI director has refused to divulge any details about the case.

Addressing a press conference on Saturday, he said that that the CBI would be submitting its findings before the court soon.
