Guwahati: In the first arrest in connection with the New Year's Day blasts in Guwahati, a man who had allegedly supplied explosives to the prime suspect has been arrested and remanded to seven days of police custody by a court.
Sanjeeb Talukdar had supplied explosives to ULFA leader Pranjal Deka who used them for triggering three blasts that claimed five lives and injured over 50 others, DIG (Central- Western Range) GP Singh said.
Talukdar was arrested on Sunday and produced on Monday before the Kamrup chief judicial magistrate who remanded him in police custody.
"Investigations are heading in the right direction and very soon the others involved in the blasts will be booked," Singh said.
Talukdar said that he had been acting as a carrier for ULFA for the past six months and had handed over the explosives to Deka at the Adabari bus stand in Guwahati.
The police had released Deka's photograph as the prime suspect a day after the blasts.
Three serial blasts had rocked the state's main city on January 1 in Birubari, Bhootnath and Bhangagarh areas.
