The CBI arrested an 18-year-old youth late on Monday night who is allegedly involved in the Jnaneswari Express derailment case.
“Hiralal Mahato was present at the spot with prime accused Bapi Mahato and Umakanto Mahato,” said a senior official of the Railways. “He is a right hand man of Bapi and he used to move with Bapi wherever he went. He is a bigger catch than Khagen and Samir Mahato.”
A member of the People’s Committee Against Police Atrocity (PCAPA), he is also a resident of Rasua village where Bapi used to live, the official added.
A senior railway official said the youth was among the five people being interrogated by the CBI. The agency had zeroed in on the men following the interrogation of Khagen and Samir Mahato.
The CBI, the official said, is yet to get any evidence of a blast in the place. As per forensic experts, the sabotage was done by removing pandrole clips from the tracks. “We are investigating into the matter,” he added.
Bhupinder Singh, the Director General of Police, said: “The CBI has given us the names of a few persons they want arrested. We had these names with us as the CID was probing the case. But since the CBI has approached us, we will make the arrests.”
