Rana said Moti Paswan – the man in question – had revealed that he was paid by the ISI to plant bomb along the rail tracks to trigger derailment of trains.
During interrogation, arrested persons have confessed to having been paid three lakh rupees by a Nepalese citizen identified as Brajesh Giri allegedly connected with the ISI for planting a bomb on railway tracks at Ghorasahan in East Champaran district in 1st of October last year to cause an accident.
