Patna/Motihari, Jan. 17: The Indore-Rajendranagar Express accident on November 20 last year was the handiwork of Pakistan's spy agency, East Champaran police claimed today after interrogating a suspected Maoist they had arrested yesterday. The derailment near Kanpur had killed 150 people in what was the worst train mishap in six years. The East Champaran police had on Monday nabbed Moti Paswan, a suspected Maoist, and two of his associates from Bakhri village under the jurisdiction of Adapur police station in the district. Police quoted Moti as saying the derailment was carried out at the behest of a Dubai-based Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operative, Shamshul Hoda, who had funded the operation. A senior police officer who was present during Moti's questioning told The Telegraph that the Delhi police's special cell has also detained some other suspected ISI operatives.
