Indian terrorsts who bombed Pakistanis in a train. Image via Wikipedia
India is deeply infested with a colossal homegrown insurgency in the form of religious terror groups. India has been unable to destroy the Hindutva terror. The Indian state seems to be paralyzed into inaction. Its been five years, and none of the Bharati penetrators of the heinous crime of blowing up a civilian train have been brought to justice. This much is certain, the materials issued were of the Indian Army, and several soldiers have been involved. A colonel has been arrested. Now new revelations, which may be startling to the Bharati media, but not so surprising for Pakistan–are the confessions by one Kamal Chouhan who described how the Samjhauta Express bombs were brought to the capital. He also defined how the bombs were taken to the railway station. He also detailed the sequence of events leading to the tragedy that killed 68 passengers, most of them Pakistani nationals.
Mr. Chouhan, has finally been arrested last Sunday and produced in court earlier this week. The terrorist has reportedly said that he has no “regrets” over the Samjhauta bombing. According to press reports that Chauhan has said to have told interrogators that there were four “planters” who came in two separate groups to Old Delhi Railway station with four suitcases, each one carrying a bomb.
The Bharati media is now reporting that Mr. Chouhan said that he was among 11 people who were given arms training at Bagli in early 2006 and also part of the “firing lessons” — organised by the deceased Sunil Joshi — given to eight people in Faridabad in April 2006.
- Mr. Chouhan has said that in the terror group received the initial arms training, there were Joshi, Ramji (Ramachandra Kalsangra, who is on the run), Sandeep Dange (absconding) and Lokesh Sharma (in jail). What the media did not report was the facts relating to the Indian Army’s involvement in the terror.
- Chouhan said that on February 15, 2007, three days before the bombing, he received a phone call from Sharma in Indore who told him that “the time for work has come”, and asked him to come to the Indore railway station to “accompany him on a journey”. Chouhan claims he didn’t ask for details but knew that “they were going to plant a bomb somewhere”.
- At the railway station, Chouhan told investigators, he met Lokesh who had two suitcases. “I pulled one and found it is heavier, heavier than a suitcase with clothes. He (Lokesh) had arranged the train reservation already. We had confirmed tickets,’’ he said. Investigators are not sure what names were used.
- Chouhan and Lokesh boarded Intercity Express to Hazrat Nizamuddin. Chouhan said Lokesh used a chain to lock the suitcases. He said they avoided all talk of their “mission” because there were people around. Both reached Nizamuddin the next morning from where they went to the Old Delhi Railway Station where they checked into a dormitory. They kept the suitcases in the room and went for a stroll, had lunch near Red Fort and it was then that they discussed the bombing plan, Chouhan told investigators.
- That evening, Chouhan told investigators, they waited for Samjhauta Express to pull in. “Lokesh took the briefcase that he was carrying and boarded the train and left it there. He had asked me to wait. Then he came back and took the briefcase that I was carrying and went to another compartment,’’ Chouhan told investigators. “After this, we left the station immediately.’’
- On their way out, Chouhan reportedly said, they saw two of their associates on the platform. “They were at a little distance. I recognised them but we didn’t talk, they also had come with two bombs.”
Investigators have already identified the other two planters, one of them is from Nashik. Their names aren’t being revealed.
- Interestingly, Lokesh Sharma, booked for his role in Samjhauta bombing in the chargesheet filed by NIA against Naba Kumar Sarkar alias Swami Asimanand, Sunil Joshi, Ramchandra Kalsangra and Sandeep Dange on July 29, 2010, is already in jail. He is likely to be questioned again. After Chouhan’s revelations, investigators are once again examining CCTV camera footage from the Old Delhi railway station.
- Regarding the source of the bombs, Chouhan has told investigators that these were given to Lokesh by Ramji. Four IEDs were planted in unreserved compartments of the Samjhauta Express, of which the IEDs in the 12th
- and 13th compartments exploded. The explosion was followed by fire in the compartments. One unexploded IED in a suitcase was recovered from the 15th compartment, which exploded in the process of being defused. One unexploded IED in a suitcase was recovered from the spot down the railway line (near the 15th compartment).

Yes this is what we Indians are doing not because they bombed Samjhota Express because they committed crime against humanity and while we investigate our law & order agencies are not blinded by religious dogmas.
What Pakistan has done – offering safe haven to Dawood Ibrahim, Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, Maulana Masood Azhar, Zaki-ur-Rehman-Lakhvi and many more? Inspite of Indian Govt sending evidence your court never found any credibility. Are your courts independent to make judgement? Judge Pervez Ali Shah issued verdict against Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri has to go to Saudi Arabia to save his life that is what is legal system in your country.
Now sensibly assess do you have any ground to question Indian Investigation of Samjhota Express ?
My god “colossal” that’s why every other day there is suicide bomb blast in Pakistan.
Coming to your narrative, yes there was the smjhauta blast and the guilty should be convicted but it was in retaliation to constant needling( the many blasts that have taken place in Indian cities and train) with the Indian society from Pakistan. What do you think, if you sow the seeds of hatred and expect peace or complete subjugation then you are wrong.
So mind your own business and write factful articles about your country.
>>Bharat is doing
Afer five years, nothing has been done, and Karoke was killed by the same people
The bomb blasts in Pakistan are the work of the same folks that blew up the Samjhota Express, and yes you guys are also very proud of the Mukti Bahni terror which killed 1 million Patriotic Pakistanis in Jessore (read Sarmila Bose).
Bharat has sowed seeds of hate in Nepal, Lanka (ltte Terror), East Pakistan (Mukti Bahni terror and later Rakhi Bahni terror), Bangladesh (Chittagong Hill Tracks Terror, and Rakhi Bahni terror)), China (Lama terror), Pakistan (TTP terror), Nepal (kingdom terror), Bhutan (state terrror)
In India law takes its own course unlike Pakistan where law is under captive. All convicts are no more free citizen unlike your nation where fugitives are celebrities. I hope you would be able to understand the difference.
Police chief Hemant Karkare was killed by terrorist send by ISI and we catch one of them Ajmal Kasab alive. As far as Ajmal Kasab is concern he was born in Faridkot village in the Okara District of Punjab, Pakistan, to Amir Shahban Kasab and Noor Illahi.His father is a dahi puri vendor while his elder brother, Afzal, works as a labourer in Lahore.His elder sister, Rukaiyya Husain, is married in the village. A younger sister, Suraiyya, and brother, Munir, live in Faridkot with their parents.The family belongs to the Qassab community.
Just for your information Faridkot village is in Pakistan.
Blaming Indian for Mumbai incident, this theory you please tell your people because denial & conspiracy theories are the culture of Pakistani people. Sarmila Bose written that book to sale in Pakistan and after her this misadventure she lost all her credibility (read Mark Tully of BBC had to say who covered Bangladesh and a eye witness).
Well according to your theory India sowed seeds of hate in neighborhood but world has awarded the trophy for terrorism & hate to one and only nation – Pakistan.
This response to the flamebait is not to convince the writer–it is written as a rebuttal to the wrong portryal of history by his ilk
Read your newspapers about conspiracy theories. Read this weeks statement about Assam!!!

Mark Tully? The same guy that reported that Indian forces had conquered Lahore?
>.India sowed seeds of hate in neighborhood
No one has awarded any trophy to anyone—it is only in your mind. South Asians hate Bharat. The Bhutanese, the Sikkimese, The Nepalese, the Maldivians, the Lankans, the Chinese, even the Bangaldeshis. In fact Manmohan Singh admitted to the fact that most Bangladeshis hate India. Not satisfied with 1971, Bharat is now supporting an insurgency in the Chittagon Hill Tracks. Delhi supported the LTTE in Lanka, the Lama terrorists in China, the Kingdom terror in Nepal, the TTP in Pakistan.
Multiple UN resolutions have condemned Bharat on Kashmir etc. Look them up! These condemnations are the trophy that Delhi got
Bharat’s very creation and existence in based upon threats and terror. Gandhi lost his Nobel peace prize because he urged Delhi to wage war on Pakistan. Delhi then threatened all the 560 states. Nehru declared that “any state that did not join the Indian Union (please note, it is the “Indian Union”, not “India”) would be considered an enemy state”. It bulldozed Hyderabad with its illegal Police Action, sent its armed forces into Gurdaspur and Ferozepur and Kashmir, illegally occupied Manvadar, and Junagarh–it then sent marauders into Tibet, terrorists into East Pakistan and LTTE Suicide bombers into Lanka
Yeah right! Tell that to the birds. Five years and nothing has happened
Karkare was killed by Hinduvta terrorists, the same ones who wanted to hid their terror during the Samjhota Express. Your farcical theories about Mumbai have been refuted many times on this site

Coalition Against Genocide letter demands action over the arrest of whistle-blower cop Sanjiv Bhatt
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011
Recipients:
The Honorable President of India, Smt. Pratibha Devsingh Patil
The Honorable Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh
The Honorable Chief Justice of India, Justice S. H. Kapadia
Dear Honorable Sir/Madam
The Coalition Against Genocide (CAG) seeks your urgent intervention in the case of the arrest of Mr. Sanjiv Bhatt, a distinguished IPS Officer from Gujarat, whose main crime has been to speak truth about the 2002 violence in Gujarat. As incumbents of the three highest offices of the Indian State, we cannot but turn to you at this moment of crisis. The Coalition Against Genocide is an advocacy coalition that was created in the wake of the Gujarat carnage of 2002 with the single purpose of working to bring the perpetrators of the genocide and other communal crimes to justice. We stand steadfast behind Mr. Bhatt and are committed to launching an international campaign on his behalf in the absence of corrective action by the Central Government to ensure his safety, and to bring an end to this vengeful retaliation against him. Without reiterating the well known facts to the case, we do want to bring to your notice:
The increasing misuse of the law to harass those on the side of truth has reached crisis proportions in India. Over the last decade the number of whistle blowers who have been put under extreme duress through the misuse of the law against them is a matter of much concern. Mr. Bhatt’s arrest is simply the most recent case, and given the truth at stake, the most egregious one. Such treatment of whistle blowers (several of whom have been killed) positions India as a gross violator of human rights from an international human rights standpoint.
In the case of Mr. Bhatt we also wish to state that he had already moved the Supreme Court on the same FIR and therefore MODI government’s intervention amounts to an interference with judicial process and makes all the more visible its desperation and vindictive attitude.
We respectfully urge you to act without delay. CAG has also decided to move forward, beginning Monday, Oct 10th, with an international human rights campaign unless the matter is seized on by the highest offices of the state. While we are bound by our ethics to stand on the side of truth and justice we sincerely hope that we will not need to launch such a campaign.

these 2 explore hemant karkare’s death. why is the indian gov reluctant to talk about him. what are they hiding?
Sanjeev Mishra, Kasab was kidnapped from Nepal by your and your allied intelligence agencies to be blackmailed and used in future terrorist attack within India and then blame it on Paksitan.
This is the normal tactics that your allied intelligence agency do to further its agendas. They have been doing this all over the world including in U S A.
Just by knowing the names of Kasab’s family is not the evidence to truth. Very conveniently your Government allowed the dead in Chabad house to be evacuated back to Israel, without the normal investigation, as to their Identities, cause of death, and whose bullet was that killed them. Further more there were few terrorist caught beside Kasab, but were killed in captivity as dead leaves no evidence of your intelligence agencies involvement. Your manufactured and concocted allegation falls on your face.
Recent false flag ops in New Delhi by your allied agency, speaks very loud. It was not Iran that carried out the attack. Further proof is that the alleged victim only got hurt and not killed. Within minutes PM Net accused Iran without Indian Authorities investigating the incident. He had the advance knowledge of the incident as they had the advance knowledge of 9 / 11 and was there to video tape the whole episode.
I feel very sorry for your pea brain intellect or perhaps you are on payroll of Piss drinking intelligence agency just doing your job of spouting garbage.
Akhbar please leave the birds alone. I hear the brave Hindus even attack the birds if they cross over from Pakistan.
As was the case of a SPY Pigeon that crossed from Pakistan and was arrested by brave Hindus and rammed into jail for spying for Pakistan. Two brave Hindus Policemen guarded the jail 24 / 7. I hear the pigeon was given a truth serum and water boarded so as to get the truth out of her.
Do you know what ever happen to that Pakistani Pigeon..?
Assalamu-Elekum
@ sanjeev bbc is hardly a credible news organization. they spread false information and bombard ppl with propaganda as if there’s no tomorrow.
and also read my response to u above after it passes moderation. then u will be able to read something that will surprise u greatly :)
Where is our pathetic media to highlight the hindu barbarianism. Indian Army is an off-shoot of RSS.
Yes! I remember that one–we reported on it. Should check up with the local arms depot. In all probability it escaped while the “soldiers” were drinking sattu!
Hello Mr. Editor & Waqqas we have given the same treatment to the parrot, kind of hospitality you offered to the monkey entered the Cholistan area of Bahawalpur district during Dec 2011.
