Rs 10 lakh each for info on two key Samjhauta suspects: NIA

NIA also announced a reward of Rs 2 lakh for the arrest of Ashok alias Amit,also wanted in connection with the same case.

Aseemanand named Dange and Kalsangra as being instrumental in carrying out a number of blasts including the attack on Samjhauta.

Ashok alias Amit alias Prince alias Sunny alias Ashwini alias Ashwini Chauhan was identified by Aseemanand from pictures the NIA showed him. Aseemanand is believed to have met this third suspect in May 2006 along with Sunil Joshi,the RSS pracharak who was later murdered.

In fact,NIA officials said they were considering taking over the probe into Joshis murder. Joshi,killed in Madhya Pradesh,has emerged as a key conspirator in the Hindu terror web,according to Aseemanands statement.

Officials said the reward is the highest announced in recent times. Dawood Ibrahim carries a reward of Rs 25 lakh while Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal carry a reward of Rs 5 lakh each on their heads.

Meanwhile,the Home Ministry ruled out sharing with Pakistan any information on the Samjhauta Express probe,saying it was too premature.
