Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had said that ISIS was behind the Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train blast.
Contradicting Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's claims, Bhopal IG (Law and Order) Makrand Devaskar said the police has not yet been able to establish any connection of the Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train blast with the ISIS.
"No connections have yet been established with the ISIS," he said on Thursday.
Earlier, Daljeet Chaudhary, the UP Additional Director General (ADG) of Police also said they had no evidence of any ISIS link, regarding the Lucknow terror stand-off, in which security forces gunned down a terrorist in an operation that lasted for nearly 10 hours in the thickly-populated Thakurganj area of Lucknow. Devaskar also said they cannot establish a linkage between the two incidents as far as the current probe is concerned, however, two of the accused of the train blast were residents of Uttar Pradesh.
However, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had on Wednesday said that ISIS was behind the Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train blast. "After planting a timer bomb bag in the train, the terrorists clicked the pictures and sent photo to their handler in Syria through social media," Chouhan told media.
On the other hand, three "ISIS-radicalised" youths have been arrested for their alleged roles in the Bhopal-Ujjain train blast case had learnt bomb-making from the terror outfit's online magazine 'Inspire,' said a police official on Thursday. The examination of the remnants of the pipe bomb planted on the train by the accused also revealed that "ISIS now in India" was written over it, the senior police official added.
"The arrested youths have admitted that they were influenced by the ISIS ideology and have learnt bomb-making by reading an online magazine 'Inspire.' They also read other radical literature on the Internet," Madhya Deoskar said.
The three accused, Mohammad Danish (27) and Mohammad Atif Muzaffar (22) from Kanpur, and Sayed Meer Husain (19) from Kannauj district were arrested from Hoshangabad district in Madhya Pradesh in connection with the blast.
Asked if the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was taking over the probe in the case, the IG said, "As and when any order comes, we will inform about it." The official said police teams from different states and central agencies have arrived in Bhopal and they are continuously questioning the accused to reach to the bottom of the case.
At least ten people were injured, three of them seriously, in the blast in the Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train near Jabdi station of Shajapur district in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday.
