Ajmer Blast: Shinde rejects claims of pressuring accused Bhavesh Patel

Patel, who was arrested in March, has alleged that Acharya Pramod Krishnan of Moradabad had facilitated his meetings with Digvijay Singh, Shinde, Jaiswal and RPN Singh.

Patel's counsel Bhupendra Singh Chouhan also claimed that his client would make the same statement in court tomorrow.

According to the NIA charge sheet, Patel had allegedly provided logistical support to those who carried out the blast inside the dargah.

Patel claimed that he was introduced to Digvijay Singh by Krishnan in his ashram in November 2012 and arranged meetings with RPN Singh and Jaiswal too. Later, Krishnan took him to "some place" in Delhi where Shinde was present.
