Swami Aseemanand and 3 others should not be allowed out of Rajasthan: ATS

The Rajasthan ATS has pleaded in a local court that Aseemanand, an activist of right-wing Hindu group 'Abhinav Bharat', and three other accused in Ajmer Dargah blast case should not be allowed to be taken out of the state by other probe agencies because of security reasons.

The application was filed by the ATS yesterday before the chief judicial magistrate Rekha Choudhry, who extended the judicial custody of 59-year-old Aseemanand, Mukesh Vasani, Harshad Solanki and Bharat Mohan Rateshver till March 15.

The four accused were produced in the court under tight security. The ATS plea is also expected to be taken up by the court on March 15.

The ATS is yet to file a chargesheet against the four accused in the bomb blast case in which three persons were killed and 15 others were injured at the dargah of Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer in 2007.
