1. The officer's official credentials may have been used on orders to get the RDX from the factory ("for National Security Purposes, Don't Ask Questions!"). Not hard to do, hey, for others inside Army Intel? Signature-faking etc. should come very easily....
2. Someone may have faked the Saadhvi's appearance (not hard to do, probably head covered, face with lots of turmeric, sandalwood paste, vibhooti, kumkum etc) and her ID, to buy the SIM card.
3. Someone may actually have called the nutcase who was ordered to take the Saadhvi's moped (did she really ride a motorbike?) and the RDX and place it outside the mosque.
4. Some may have called the guy, FROM a cellphone with the Saadhvi's SIM, and chewed him out for failing to kill more ppl.
5. So from the bomb-placer's pov, he got a call as he was told to expect to get, from the Saaadhvi. He did his assignment, and then he got called by the same voice and same number, and chewed out.
6. The SIM-seller is sure that he sold it to someone who looked very much like the Saadhvi, and he sure ain't retracting that, because if the Saadhvi goes free, then he is still on the hook for selling the SIM to terrorists.
7. The Lt Col has to admit that the signature LOOKS like his, the stationery is from his office, the office stamp is his. But he says "I had NOTHING to do with this!"
8. The ATS says: "Aha! Likely story! Army intelligence just hands out their seals to anyone? WHO can sneak inside a LT. COL's office and steal this? Will an Army facility just hand over a packet of RDX without VERIFYING the orders?"
9. Everyone wants to CYA by saying: "IMPOSSIBLE! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ARMY INTELLIGENCE!"
(no offence, I am showing how it all fits)
10. So now the ATS babus claim they have cracked the case. Smart ATS officers have grave doubts.
Fits all the facts reported so far.
So WHY frameup? That's easy. There I agree with what all the Holies say, except that there a hajaar reasons. This is why you should check back several months, as to WHEN the first hints came out that such a "revelation" would be the way to go. IIRC, several blasts ago, the IMC, AIM, and their India-based chamchas declared that "Police must investigate the blasts conducted by Hindu Terrorists as Well!" and mentioned two cases. One was the Darwin Award Winner in UP who managed to inflate himself. I wondered which one the other was - now I see it.
Also look at the extreme coverage of this investigation in YAWN etc.
The Malegaon blast was, IMO, set off precisely to target Hindus, and the Indian Army, and it was probably done by the same crowd that did the other blasts. Except these were a bit more sophisticated in the frameup.
My opinion is that if the Army officer was really involved, and some gang really wanted "revenge", and he went to all the trouble of getting RDX etc., knowing that these would eventually be traced to him, he would have gone for a truckload, and turned the mosque into a parking lot with all inside.
No sense in doing fedayeen, just to do a blast where the obvious intent was to minimize the number of casualties.
BUT.. I have no evidence, so I cannot argue this. I do think the above fits all the reported facts to-date.
Sorry for the late reaction.
All the RDX used in an explosion is never fully consumed in the explosion. Minute quantities of unexploded residue can almost always be picked up and analyzed.
RDX can be positively identified right down to the specific production batch from where a particular sample has originated. This is because of a characteristic chemical finger print that is left behind in the unexploded residue and can be picked up even in trace quantities from the site after an explosion and analyzed to yield reliable information. When the next batch is made, due to minute variations in the mix a new finger print emerges.
This is the reason why you see serious looking gentlemen swabbing away at the explosion site with cotton buds / swabs and carefully putting away the samples in ziplock bags and incidentally also the very same reason that the Daughter of the East's assassination site was so quickly hosed down by interested parties in Pakistan.
It can very well and easily be proved whether the RDX in question was of Indian origin or not. The source or at least the production facility and batch number can be pinpointed. Law enforcement agencies have large data bases of such fingerprints that are often provided by the production facilities themselves and can be easily accessed by the authorities. International cooperation for such identification is the accepted norm.
Be that as it may, Col Purohit just would not have been so stupid as portrayed in the media. Sending SMSs from his mobile and in such wonderfully explicit language. Sounds more like a pot boiler.
RDX, Havala transactions and training camps!!! Sound familiar???
Are we to believe that the ATS arrested him minus his laptop and foolishly went back later to look for it?
A photograph of the Col in uniform with a red tikka on his forehead was prominently published on many front pages. You just cannot walk around in the Indian Armed forces, in uniform and parading a tikka on your forehead.
Pity that they could not show a burkha clad female piteously vouching for his innocence. Hence the Saadhvi, just to complete the picture.
You are right about a conspiracy. This one is going to blow up in the faces of the congress and all its fake secular supporters.
