Patna,(BiharTimes): Denying the media reports of the involvement of any human bomb the director general of Bihar Police, Abhayanand, said on Wednesday that the state police had formally handed over the investigation into serial blasts at Gandhi Maidan and Patna junction station on October 27 (Hunkar Rally day) to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

Talking to the media he said the youth who died at Patna railway station was not a human bomb but he committed a mistake while setting the timer.

He claimed that the Bihar Police had almost cracked the case and it has, to a large extent, been confirmed that Indian Mujahideen was behind them.
Abhayanand said the recovery of explosives and documents from a lodge at Hindipidhi in Ranchi has almost proved the involvement of Indian Mujahideen (IM) both in Patna as well as Bodh Gaya on July 7 as the same set of people were involved in them.

According to DGP at the instance of Bihar Police, the NIA has agreed to involve two DSPs and one sub-inspector of Bihar Police in the investigation.
He said the arrest of Imtiaz Ansari after the blast at railway station provided early leads to the Police. After his arrest he had confessed that more bombs had been planted at Gandhi Maidan. In all 18 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were used in Patna––some of them could not explode.

The DGP claimed that the Bihar Police had made frantic search but could not stop explosion of some bombs.
Abhayanand conceded that this was a new type of crime committed in Bihar thus the state police had no experience of handling it yet it worked intelligently and methodically to solve the case.

He said the IM had planned to attack some religious places in Bihar and other places in the country.
