| Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde visited the Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gaya today, the site of a series of bomb blasts on Sunday morning in which two Buddhist monks were injured. The probe trail in the blasts has gone cold with the National Investigation Agency releasing the three men and a woman they detained yesterday.
Calling the Bodh Gaya blasts "alarming", Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde today said the government will investigate the incident from all possible angles and will not arrest anyone in hurry. The Home Minister was accompanied by Congress president Sonia Gandhi and senior party leader Ambika Soni.

In the three days since the blasts, there has been more politics than headway in investigations. Yesterday the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh and other party leaders toured the temple and slammed the Central government for failing to tackle terror. Another BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain, who today slammed the Home Minister for visiting the site three days after the blasts, is also expected to tour the temple premises today.

Addressing the reporters in Gaya, Mr Shinde said the Centre is considering Central Industrial Security Forces cover at various religious sites in the country including the Shirdi Sai Baba temple and Delhi's Jama Masjid.

Based on the Delhi Police alert sent out in October last year, Mr Shinde said the Bihar Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police had taken a review of the Buddhist site on July 3 and spoke to the local security force there.

The Home Minister said the Centre acted the moment blasts occurred. "We sent teams immediately by air, but due to bad weather, the flight had to turn back," he said. The flight reached Gaya the following day.
6.
The Home Minister also said the Centre has deployed two high-level teams from the National Security Guard and the National Investigation Agency to probe the multiple blasts.
