Police in Pakistan have arrested three more Indian nationals for alleged involvement in a blast which occurred in eastern city of Lahore on Wednesday. Security forces had earlier arrested Satish Anand Sharma, an Indian citizen, and claimed to have recovered from his possession documents containing sensitive information.
During initial investigation, Sharma is reported to have disclosed the presence of gthree of his associates in Pakistan. Later, intelligent agencies raided different parts of Lahore and arrested three more Indians.
A report on the Press TV attributing the information to sources said a camera, two pistols and secret maps were recovered from the possession of accused, fake national identity cards were also recovered from the suspects.
The Indian High Commission in Islamabad denied having received any information from the Pakistani officials.
"Nothing has been conveyed officially and we suspect this is yet another ploy to divert attention from the real issue, which is to bring the guilty in Mumbai attacks to justice. We don't believe these reports are true and if they are, we would like Pakistan to inform us officially,'' Times of India quoted a highly placed source as saying on Thursday.
The blast in a heavily guarded neighborhood of the eastern city of Lahore on Wednesday left one woman killed and four others injured.
Tensions have been running high between India and Pakistan since New Delhi blamed the 26/11 terror strikes in Mumbai on ‘elements in Pakistan, the charge was, however, denied by Islamabad.
