Hyderabad : Syed Kaleem, the brother of Syed Saleem of Hyderabad who died in Thursday's blast in Ajmer, has said that the police did not tell him about wires recovered from the pocket of his brother.
"They told us there was only Rs 100 and some change in his pocket," Mr Kaleem told this correspondent. "They did not tell us there were wires. It cropped up later."
"He has a wife and three children. How would he end his life by becoming a suicide bomber," Mr Kaleem, a real estate agent, asked. "My brother was psychologically fit," he added.
Rajasthan police had said that electrical wires were recovered from the pocket of Saleem, 42, of Janakinagar Colony in Tolichowki, who died in the blast at the Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti dargah in Ajmer. His body was found close to the site where the bomb went off.
The police is checking whether the wires were similar to the ones used in the bomb. The police is investigating whether the cellphone used to trigger the blast belonged to Saleem.
Mr Kaleem said that Rajasthan chief minister Vasundara Raje Scindia had spoken to him "at least for 15 minutes."
"She said that she would extend any support. Even Rajasthan police spoke well to us and they helped us in dispatching the body home," Mr Kaleem said. Personnel from the Central crime station spoke to Mr Kaleem on Saturday evening.
