Patna: Ainul alias Tarique, a terror suspect who was injured in the Patna blasts, died on Friday at a government hospital. Tarique, the second suspect, was apprehended while he was crying in pain at the Patna railway junction toilet soon after a bomb which he was trying to fit with a timer exploded. Arun Kumar, director of the Patna-based Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, where Ainul was admitted with splinter injuries to his brain, confirmed that he was dead.
After battling for life for over five days, he succumbed to serious injuries in his brain,” Kumar said. Six of the seven blasts took place at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on October 27. The seventh explosion was at the railway station. Mohammad Imtiaz Ansari, a resident of Ranchi, is suspected to be the brain behind the blasts. He was arrested from the Patna railway junction after a bomb exploded in a toilet on platform No 10 Sunday morning.
Multiple blasts rocked the capital of Bihar, ahead of Modi’s rally on Sunday. However, BJP went ahead with the rally. They blamed Nitish government the next day for security lapses. The Bihar CM denied the allegations and said that no specific intelligence inputs had been received by his government. Six people died in the blasts and more than eighty have been injured. Meanwhile, the Centre has handed over the case to the NIA.
