Madhya Pradesh is a peaceful state and nobody would be allowed to create disturbance here," he said.These terrorists had arrived here from Lucknow and planted the bomb in Bhopal-Ujjain train, he said.Chouhan said today in the state Assembly that MP police and central agencies had unmasked the people behind the train blast in just five hours."The three suspects detained for the blast in the state are being grilled thoroughly so as to reach to more of their accomplices," he said.Referring to the jail break by SIMI activists and the subsequent encounter in which eight men of the banned outfit were killed last year, the CM said, "Attempts have been made to disturb peace but it has been nipped in the bud by the alert state police. An act of terror won't be allowed to thrive in the state."In an official statement released late last night, the UP police had said that three persons were arrested by Madhya Pradesh police in Piparia town in Hoshangabad.Two of the arrested persons are from Kanpur, while one is from Aligarh.

 NEW DELHI: Family members of the alleged ISIS this morning refused to accept his body saying "a traitor" is no son of theirs."One who indulges in anti-national activities can't be my son.

He has brought infamy not only to us but to the whole nation, therefore we will not accept his body for last rites", to TOI.in Lucknow this morning in an exchange of fire with the police after a 12-hour stand-off.

 Confirming that the explosion in the Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train was a handiwork of ISIS operatives, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that after planting the pipe bomb they uploaded its photograph and sent it to Syria. “We have proof of the involvement of ISIS,” Chouhan said. The blast occurred in a general coach of the train between 9.30 am and 10 am on Tuesday, when it was on its way to Ujjain from Bhopal near Jabdi station. 
 
 The train was near Kalapipal when an explosion was heard in the general coach near Jabri station in Shajapur district. The IED, police said, was probably kept in a bag. Some passengers jumped from the running train and were injured. They were taken to the government hospital in Kalapipal and two were later referred to a hospital in Bhopal. The train proceeded towards Ujjain after the last two coaches were detached. 
 
 Eight pistols, 650 rounds of ammunition, 50 fired rounds, explosives materials, gold, cash, passports, SIM cards and a train timetable have been recovered from the Lucknow house where the suspected terrorist was found. 
 
 Later on Tuesday, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terror Squad was engaged with a suspected terrorist in Lucknow for over 12 hours, post which he was eliminated. The police suspect him to have links with the Islamic State and that he had a role to play in the Ujjain-Bhopal train explosion. The suspect killed has been identified as Mohammad Saifurullah alias Ali, and is a resident of Kanpur. 
 
 Speaking to reporters, Anti Terror Squad IG Assem Arun said the neutralised terrorist was a member of the ISIS Khorasan module and that the room was being checked for explosives. 
 
 Meanwhile, three people have been apprehended from Kanpur and nearby areas. Inspector General of the Uttar Pradesh ATS further said two more people are being tracked.

– A father in India wants nothing to do with a son accused of terrorism, even in death. "Look, someone who's a traitor cannot be our son," says the father of 23-year-old Mohammad Saifullah, who was killed Wednesday in a standoff with police in Lucknow. "We will not accept his body for last rites,” his father tells the Times of India. Police say Saifullah helped coordinate a train bombing Tuesday on the Bhopal-Ujjain line that seriously injured three people. His father says Saifullah, who had a degree in commerce, left home about three months ago after they fought because Saifullah didn't have a job. Saifullah reportedly called his father Monday and said he was off to Saudi Arabia to become a truck driver. Three others have been arrested, though authorities have issued conflicting reports about the group's possible ties to ISIS. One official is quoted in the Indian Express as saying the bombers emailed a photo immediately afterward to a presumed handler in Syria, and thus, "We have proof of the involvement of ISIS." But the Hindustan Times reports that no financial links have been discovered, with a police officer saying that "they were mostly self-radicalized." Police found a cache of weapons, gold, passports, and a train timetable at the house where Saifullah was shot by police. They say his brother tried to talk him into surrendering by phone, to no avail. Meanwhile, the home minister in Madhya Pradesh called the train bombing a "trial blast" and says more attacks were being planned, per the Economic Times.
