<b>Jaipur blasts case: Bharatpur cleric detained</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->JAIPUR: The Special Investigation Team, probing the May 13 serial bomb blasts in Jaipur, has detained a cleric, hailing from Bharatpur, for his alleged role in the case and also seized his laptop, mobile phone, personal diary along with other belongings from his possession.

The cleric, identified by cops as Mohammed Illyas, was reportedly detained on Friday night. Though SIT officials have refused to divulge details about his detention, a senior cop said Illyas was first asked to come to a police station in Bharatpur and he was detained after initial questioning.

<b>“There is a strong possibility that he (Iliyash) has links with the Jaipur blasts. His cellphone records show that international calls had been made to Bangladesh and Pakistarn before the serial blasts,” </b>said a SIT officer, preferring anonymity. “It was learnt that the qazi had come to Jaipur many times before the serial blasts. He has been under watch soon after the blasts,” he added.

Sources said Illyas might have links with HuJI and SIMI and even documents recovered from his possession indicated that he might be a Pakistan spy, too. He has been reportedly taken to Jaipur and interrogations are on. “He used to run a madrassa near Kumher Gate in Bharatpur,” a senior police officer of Bharatpur said.

“First he was called to the police station. Later, cops came to his house on Friday and sized his laptop, mobile phone, diary and other belongings,” said one of Illyas’ relatives.
