NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency ( NIA ) has claimed to have solved the July 7 Bodh Gaya blasts conspiracy with the recovery of a document from Ranchi that details the entire planning, including the placement of each of the 13 bombs and the planters associated with them.

The NIA, which recovered 27 bombs from a lodge in Hindpidih area of Ranchi on Monday, also found a chart in the room that listed the men who allegedly planted 13 bombs in the temple complex of Bodh Gaya.

The document shows that the blasts were planned by Indian Mujahideen ’s Tehsin Akhtar and Haidar Ali and included the same planters as in the October 27 Patna blasts.

It also includes the name of Imtiaz Ansari, arrested after one of the Patna bombs exploded at the city railway station. Ansari had denied any involvement in the Bodh Gaya blasts but had conceded that it had been planned by Tehsin.

The chart's matrix reveals Imtiaz had planted bombs near the Thai Monastery in Bodh Gaya. His accomplice Ainul alias Tarique, who was injured while planting bombs at Patna station and later died, had planted bombs at the Targhar Monastery.

Mujib, who was staying in the hotel room which was raided on Monday, had planted bombs in four places in Bodh Gaya.

A senior officer privy to investigation details said, “This shows that Imtiaz is still hiding several things about IM's activities. With the recovery of these documents, the Bodh Gaya puzzle has been solved. We are now in the process of evidence collection and looking for the absconding accused. We will further interrogate Ansari.”
