Chandrashekhar is the second person to be arrested in connection with the case this week. On Wednesday, Devendra Gupta was arrested by Rajasthan Police in connection with the blast.
Gupta is allegedly linked with Hindu outfit Abhinav Bharat Sangathan and suspected to be involved in the blast inside the Dargah of Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti, they said.
Officials are also probing Gupta’s alleged links with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, a key accused in the Malegaon blast case.
