Mecca Masjid blast accused in Nepal?


Two key conspirators of the Mecca Masjid bomb blast of 2007 who have remained untraced so far have reportedly fled the country and gone underground in Nepal. Efforts by sleuths of the National Investigation Agency to nab the two - Sandeep Dange alias Paramnand and Ramchandra Kalsangra alias Ramji - have met with failure. "One of the NIA teams that went to Nepal came back empty handed.
But the agency has not given up hope and is pursuing all leads in the neighbouring country," police sources said. The NIA had issued look-out notices for the two and announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh on each. Dange and Kalsangra were RSS pracharaks hailing from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. They are alleged to have been involved in planting a bomb in Mecca Masjid that exploded on May 18, 2007, killing nine persons and injuring several others.
The two are also wanted in bomb blasts that took place on Samjhauta Express and at Ajmer dargah, Malegaon and Modasa. Earlier the CBI that was investigating the case before it was transferred to the NIA had arrested three accused - Devendra Gupta, Lokesh Sharma and Naba Kumar Sarkar alias Swami Aseemanand.
