The Special Investigating Team (SIT), constituted to look into Thursday's serial blasts in Assam, on Sunday began its probe and is likely to explore HuJI-ULFA links in the orchestrated serial blats in Assam that left 81 dead and hundreds of others injured and scarred for life. The SIT is said to be working round-the-clock to ascertain the identities of those involved in the bombing.
The team is headed by IGP (Special Task Force) R Chandranathan.
"Last night, we handed over all the papers and clues ascertained so far to the SIT which has started investigations," IGP (Law and Order) Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta said.
Sources in the SIT said the investigations were on to explore the HuJI-ULFA links in the blasts and the authenticity of the SMS sent to a private satellite channel by so-called Islamic Security Force (Indian Mujahideen) claiming responsibility for the bombings.
Police said so far five persons have been arrested and several others detained. Meanwhile, Principal Secretary (Home) Subhas Das said police have got vital clues during investigations.
Refusing to divulge details, Das was hopeful that the police would soon zero in on the culprits responsible for the blasts.
