In a major blow to the National Investigating Agency's Ajmer blast trial, 13 crucial prosecution witnesses have now turned hostile and gone back on their testimonies. The trial in the National Investigating Agency (NIA) special court in Jaipur started in September 2013, over six years after a blast killed three people in the Ajmer Dargah during an Iftaar party. Several were injured. The Rajasthan Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) first investigated the case and submitted its chargesheet against Devender Gupta, Lokesh Sharma and Chandrasekhar Leve - all functionaries of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - in October 2010. The NIA then took over the case and chargesheeted 12 people (including these three) between April 2011 and October 2013 also either former members of the RSS, or belonging to fringe Hindutva groups.
