NIA cracks Patna blasts case, says Modi was target

A conspiracy had been hatched to harm prime minister-elect Narendra Modi, the NIA claimed on Wednesday, saying it has cracked last year’s Patna serial blasts case with the arrest of four persons including a juvenile allegedly having association with banned terror groups like SIMI and Indian Mujhaideen. 

Terming it as a ‘big success’, NIA director general Sharad Kumar told reporters that ‘definitely the conspiracy among these people was to harm Modiji. The people whom we have arrested earlier in the Patna blast case had said that they had receed Modi’s rallies and went there to see how to get near him.
