Panaji: The National Investigation Agency on Monday filed a chargesheet against 11 people in the Goa bomb blast case. All the accused are from the Hindu group Sanathan Sanstha and four of them - Dhananjay Ashtekar, Dilip Mangaonar, Vinayak Patil and Vinay Talekar - are already in police custody.
The chargesheet runs into 4,000 pages and the accused been been charged with allegedly conspiring to execute serial bomb blasts in Madgaon on the eve of Diwali on October 16 2009.
It's still not clear what the exact role of Sanathan Sanstha was in executing the attack. Police suspected the group's involvement after the motorcycle on which the bomb was planted was traced to one of its member.
Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Vasco had last week granted bail to Patil and Talekar as National Investigation Agency had failed to file a chargesheet despite having the duo in custody for 180 days.
Two persons had died in a bomb explosion at Margao town while police had defused two IEDs at Sancoale, 30 kms away from Margao.
