(P.1.8.), Patna received a hand written light brown envelope addressed to P.LB. Patna.
The envelope contained photocopy of hand written letter of eight pages allegedly by
Indian wing of Al-Qaida (Jamaat-AL-Tawheed-Wal-Qisas). The author of the letter
claimed the blasts in Bodh Gaya were to avenge the atrocities on the Rohingya Muslims
by Buddhist in Myarimar. The statements of witnesses including Director P.I.B were
taken on record which disclosed about the receipt of the letter claiming the
responsibility of Bodhgaya blasts.
UNRAVELING OF CONSPIRACY
16.19 MA broadened the ambit of investigation and all the extremist groups and organization
were put under probe. The initial breakthrough in the investigation of the case came
with the arrest of Indian Mujahideen (1.M.) operative Ahrned Sidibappa @ Yasin
Bhatkal by the N.I.A in RC 06/2012 in August 2013 (after one and half months of
J3odhgaya blasts). It was found that Yasin Bhatkal used to chat with I.M. chief Riyaz
Bhatkal (reportedly to be present in Pakistan) on internet, in which they also discussed
about targeting Bodhgaya. They wanted to take revenge against the alleged atrocities by
Buddhist on Rohingiya Muslims in Myanmar, In one of the chat sessions, Riyaz Bhatkal
told Yasin about some operatives of Students Islamic Movement of India (S.I.M.I.)
including a person namely “Buty” (later identified as Black Beauty @ Haider @
Abdullah of Ranchi) who may be involved in the l3odhgaya seriai blasts. The chat also
() referred to one S.I.M.I. operative Manzar Imam, who had been arrested by then. The
