Mumbai,February 05:The 2007 Samjautha Express blasts investigation too appears to be hitting a dead end as there is no leader in that team as well. In fact this team was pulled up for its slow pace in investigations.
Nearly a year back there was this sensational confession by Swami Aseemanand in the Samjhauta Express blasts case, in which 68 people lost their lives. The NIA thought it had it all cracked. However, there was a major turnaround when the godman refuted his statements alleging that the confession was given under duress.
Had Aseemanand stuck to his confession the scenario would have been entirely different and would have made the job of the agency much easier. However, now they have to start right from scratch as most of the statements will be denied.
To make matters worse, most of the chargesheets that were filed in these cases were very much dependant on the confession of Swami Aseemanand. Now with him refuting the statements, it would be an extremely challenging task to piece together the evidence that they would have to submit before the court.
