Three days after eight bombs ripped Jaipur killing 65 people and injuring over 150 people, there is little headway in solving the mystery of the serial blasts.But the Rajasthan government has put the Bangladeshi migrants in the city under the scanner and plans to deport them within a month.A special prayer for peace was organized at Jaipur's Jama Masjid, the first after Tuesday's terror strike. Jaipur is nearly normal and the curfew has also been lifted.Seventy-two hours after the strike, investigators are still picking up the pieces following a bewildering maze of clues. However, one thing is amply clear, all the bi-cycles used in the attack were bought from Jaipur's Kishanpole market.On Tuesday, hours before the blast Om Prakash, who has been selling cycles for over 40 years, sold a cycle to a terrorist.''Normally it takes us half-hour to sell a cycle but these people were clearly in a hurry, they just bought the first cycle that was shown to them, paid the money and left,'' said Om Prakash Laxman, cycle vendor.Police have questioned hotel owners, detained some people but the government seems to have made up its mind that the attacks couldn't have been carried out without support from sections of the Bangladeshis living in Jaipur.''We will deport all Bangladeshis within a month,'' said Rajendra Singh Rathore, PWD Minister, Rajasthan.But that many governments have found out, it is easier said than done. For now one thing is clear the security agencies have little to go by in cracking the case.
Do it!
