Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) team on Wednesday arrested a seer, who heads a 'math' in Jammu, from Kanpur in connection with the Malegaon blast case.
"The person arrested has been identified as Dayanand Pandey, who hails from Uttar Pradesh", state Additional Director General, Law and Order, Brijlal said.
Pandey, he said, was "mathadheesh" of a 'math' in Jammu.
The accused is being taken to Lucknow from Kanpur, he said without elaborating. Sources said that Pandey was allegedly in hiding in Kanpur.
Meanwhile, national convenor of Bajrang Dal Prakash Sharma said that Pandey had "no links" with his outfit.
"I am not even aware of this person. I don't know who he is. He is not a member of Bajrang Dal," Sharma said when contacted.
The two-member ATS team had reached Uttar Pradesh last night to probe the Malegaon case.
Meanwhile, tension prevailed in parts of communally-sensitive Gorakhpur after the reports indicated that an ATS team was coming from Maharashtra to question Adityanath or Agarwal.
