The National Investigation Agency (NIA) special court summoned 13 Pakistani nationals on Friday in Samjhauta blasts case. These people include those who were either traveling on the train on that day or are related to the people who died in the blasts.
The blasts on Samjhauta Express train had happened on February 18, 2007. The incident killed 68 people, commonly Pakistanis. The train was attacked as Pakistani Muslims used to travel by it, according to the NIA charge sheet.
“It is not clear whether they (13 Pakistani nationals) will come to depose at Panchkula or some other place near the border. The information will be sent to them through a proper channel. They will be called from July 4 to July 7,” said Rajan Malhotra, NIA counsel.
In the meantime, two video journalists told the court that when Kamal Chauhan, one of the accused in Samjhauta blasts case, was produced in Panchkula district courts he admitted to have executed the blasts.
While one of the witnesses was a cameraperson with NDTV, another was with Asian News International (ANI). The clip of that day was played in the court as well.
