Officers in the MP Police said there was little possibility of SIMI being behind the blasts. “The banned outfit has nothing to gain from it,” the officer said. According to him, the Haryana team will leave Indore in a couple of days, after which the MP Police will come out with their case.

• Before being banned, SIMI was headquartered in Ujjain, the hometown of its general secretary Safdar Nagauri. Cases are registered against it in the region and in Jabalpur, Seoni and Burhanpur
• After the Mumbai blasts, nine activists from Indore were held when they succeeded in meeting a jailed activist by bribing cops who were taking him for a court hearing. Some are still in jail
• MP Police argue that SIMI has not carried out any blasts in the state nor has RDX ever been seized here
