So how is my spoof on how the ATS 'manufactures' its reports different from the news below? I am beginning toi get the nasty feeling that whoever is strategising this attack against Hindus and other high national institutions is using only a small section of the ATS to do this dirty job - like the CIA has its dirty tricks dept. This small section probably is personally beholden or something else to the string-puller. I am extremely grateful to Deccan Chronicle for the courage of its news reporting.

 

I now ask the pointed question - if Lt. Col. Purohit did not 'confess' to stealing 60 kgs of RDX from the army in his shopping bag, who, how and why did ALL nerwspapers and TV channels say he did? And why and how did the haryana police all of a sudden sing a different tune declaring that the deaths on the samjhauta Express was not caused by TIDs (incendiary substances) but by RDX using (IEDs)? I am beginning to suspect that the irresponsible columns written by one drawing room counter-terrorism expert on looking for hindu terrorists set off the string-puller in that direction. Now the expert cannot shed crocodile tears about the nature of the investigations. RR

Purohit did not filch RDX

Bengaluru, Nov. 17: Lt. Col. Srikant Purohit, in the custody of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad in connection with the Malegaon blasts, did not obtain any RDX from Jammu and Kashmir during his stint in the Military Intelligence, the Anti-Terror Squad and sources in the Forensic Science Laboratory, Bengaluru, said. Sources in the Maharashtra ATS said that Lt. Col. Purohit had not confessed to having taken RDX either during his interrogation or narcoanalysis.  "The inference that he obtained 60 kg of RDX in Jammu and Kashmir for terror blasts and that he gave the explosives to one Bhagwan to execute the Samjhauta Express blasts in 2007 was cooked up. We don't know the source of these media stories," said an official source. During narcoanalysis tests conducted on Purohit by the Forensic Science Laboratory, Bengaluru, last week, the Army man categorically denied having taken RDX from any source during his J&K stint.  Questions in this regard were repeated to him but each time he strongly denied that he had any links to the RDX. He was cooperative and answered with clarity, said sources. Sources in the Army also said a Military Intelligence officer has no access to explosives. "He is in mufti and his brief is to collect intelligence on insurgency and anti-national activities. Also, the Army does not use or store RDX," an official source said.
