The seven-member SIT would be headed by Jhabua’s additional superintendent, said Makrand Deuskar, superintendent of police (Law and Order).

Jhabua’s Additional Superintendent of Police Seema Alwa told IANS that police have raided many places to arrest Kaswal. “The manhunt is to locate absconding Rajendra Kaswal.”

Police have seized 59 detonators and two batteries from the house of Kaswal, the main accused in the blasts case in the district’s Petlawad town, the officer said, adding that police broke open Kaswal’s house and seized the detonators and batteries.

The chief minister has ordered dismissal of officials responsible for dereliction of duty in the Petlawad town blast case and transferring entire staff of the area police station.

On Sunday, Chouhan during his visit to hospital and the victim families had faced protests from agitated people who had sought a strict action against the erring officials in the blasts.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
