Indian High Commission not informed of arrests
Nirupama Subramanian
ISLAMABAD: Confusion surrounds the reported arrests of four men described by the Pakistani media as Indian nationals for their alleged involvement in a bomb attack in Lahore on Wednesday and Thursday, and a claim by an unknown pro-Taliban group for the same attack.
Two days after the first reported arrest, no Pakistani official has yet said anything about the arrests. The Indian High Commission here said it had not been informed of the arrests of any Indian nationals.
The car bomb killed a woman and left three people injured.
One of the men, identified by Pakistani media as Satish Anand Shukla and by some newspapers as Satish Anand Sharma of Kolkota, is said to have been arrested in Lahore. He is supposed to have told Pakistani authorities about his three “accomplices,” who were then picked up from the Sahfeeqabad area of the city.
Media reports, quoting police sources, identified them as Ram Kumar, Ram Chandar and Parkash and said they had been shifted to an unidentified location for interrogation.
The reports said two pistols, a “modern” camera and “secret maps” were found on the men.
Meanwhile, The News reported that a previously unheard of group, Ansar Wa Mohajir, claimed responsibility for the bomb attack. The newspaper said a caller identifying himself as Toofan Wazir, a spokesman for the group, phoning from North Waziristan called its Peshawar office. He said the group had carried out the Lahore bomb attack as well an earlier rocket attack in Dera Ismail Khan in the North West Frontier Province.
According to the newspaper, the man threatened more attacks against security forces and the government’s installations to avenge the two recent U.S. missile strikes in North Waziristan in which several militants belonging to the Punjab province were killed.
