Nasik, Oct 08: Investigation into the September 8
bomb blasts at Malegaon in Maharashtra was in final stage and
going on in a proper direction, Deputy Chief Minister R R
Patil said on Sunday.
Patil, who is also the Home Minister, declined to
share any detail of the probe being carried out by the local
police with the help of Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) and central
intelligence agencies.
"We will bring out the truth behind the Malegaon
blasts soon," he told reporters here.
The multiple blasts in the powerloom town near here
killed 31 people and injured more than 200.
He said a London police team would shortly arrive in
Mumbai to see the details of investigation into the July 11
train blasts, which the ATS has claimed to have cracked. The
British capital's transportation system was targeted in terror
attacks on July 7 last year.
Lauding the role of the Maharashtra police in
maintaining law and order despite being short of manpower and
equipment, Patil said the government was seriously thinking of
increasing the salaries of police personnel.
