Jaipur: A week after an explosion damaged railway tracks near Ramsinghpur in Sriganganagar district, police have yet to establish the conspiracy behind the blast or arrest anyone in connection with the incident.A team of senior police officers, including ADG Biju George Joseph, has been in Sriganganagar since Tuesday to oversee investigations. They have inspected the blast site and examined the evidence collected from the damaged stretch.Investigators are scanning CCTV footage from Ramsinghpur town and surrounding areas to identify suspicious movement before and after the explosion.Police are also questioning suspects as they try to establish who triggered the blast, how it was executed and whether anyone planned to target a passing train.The explosion occurred on Nov 3 around 9.45 pm after the Anupgarh-Suratgarh passenger train had crossed the stretch. It shattered two concrete-and-steel sleepers, damaged the railway track and left a crater about 2.5 ft deep.The blast triggered security concerns because the site lies around 60 km from the India-Pakistan international border. Investigators are also examining the incident against the backdrop of the Oct 12 interception of a Pakistani drone carrying heroin, 6 kg of RDX configured into an improvised explosive device and 600 rounds of ammunition in the district.However, police have not established any link between the two incidents. The forensic examination of samples collected from the blast site remains crucial to determining whether an explosive substance caused the damage.
