New Delhi: Amid doubts being raised about Jamia Nagar encounter being fake, National Security Advisor M K Narayanan on Saturday said it was a "travesty" to say that the police officer killed in it was shot by "his own kind". "I don't want to use the word... The policeman was killed and to say that he was shot by his own kind, I think its a travesty. I don't want to get into it...," he said, while speaking to a private news channel in an interview.

However, he supported Delhi Police's claim of having solved the serial blasts that rocked the country last month and having arrested the right persons, saying that it was one case where "information flowed seamlessly into the system". Narayanan said that Delhi Police's claim "was hundred per cent true.... Whether its Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, or Mumbai, the chain that it (probe) has produced has frightened us...The scale of what is really going on".

The NSA said what was "disconcerting" was that the module involved in the blasts, was "an Indian module". "Indian Mujahideen is essentially...The operative part is Indian. Of course they receive support from outside, but the point is really its a reverse of what we had till 2006 where perpetrators were outsiders with logistics support...," Narayanan said. On increasing demands from various quarters for a judicial probe into the blasts, he said he had "nothing to say" to those who demand this. (PTI)
