Senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar has been named in the police chargesheet listing the accused in the 2007 Ajmer blasts, a TV channel reported on Saturday. The 806-page chargesheet filed by the Rajasthan Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Friday alleges supporters of a radical Hindu group called Abhinav Bharat carried out the blast at the dargah of Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti on October 11, 2007 killing three persons and injuring 15.
Devendra Gupta, Lokesh Sharma, Chander Shekhar Lave, Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangre have been charged with murder, attempt to murder, conspiracy, harming or defiling place of worship and other crimes.
Gupta, Sharma, Lave are in judicial custody while Dange and Kalsangre are absconding. Another accused Sunil Joshi died during the course of investigation.
The exact charges against Kumar are not known yet but the RSS leader told Times Now he was being harassed and will prove his innocence in court.
"This is a political conspiracy against me," he told Times Now.
According to the news channel, conspirators in the blast met several times and the RSS leader attended one such meeting in Jaipur.
The chargesheet alleges the conspiracy for the blast was led by Swami Sananand, who arranged meetings of the other accused in Jammu, Indore and Ujjain.
