BHOPAL: With some newspapers used to pack the explosives in the Ajmer Sharif blast being traced to Indore and Ujjain, a police team from Rajasthan arrived here  on Sunday to conduct a probe.

Besides, some newsapers used to cover the explosives were also traced to Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat, State Director General of Police A R Pawar told.

A strict vigil was being maintained at Ujjain, especially at Unhel town where activities of banned Islamic organisation, Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) have been reported, Ujjain Superintendent of Police Jaideep Prasad said.
 
The team is also expected to visit Indore in connection with the blast, he said.
 
Two persons were killed and 17 others were injured in the blast that took place in the shrine of Moinnudin Chisti when pilgrims were breaking their Ramzaan fast at the shrine on October 11.
