Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday confirmed that the ISIS was behind the Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train blast

"After planting a timer bomb bag in the train, the terrorists clicked the pictures and sent photo to their handler in Syria through social media," Chouhan told the media here.

Congratulating the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), Madhya Pradesh Police and central forces for their coordination and work, the Chief Minister told ANI earlier in the day that the interrogation of the three suspects arrested is on.

"The police have arrested the three terrorists named mastermind Atif Muzaffar and Md. Danish - both residents of Kanpur - and Syed Meer Hussain," he said.

A team of the NIA today reached Bhopal to look into the train blast case in Madhya Pradesh over suspicion of a terror attack.

At least nine people were injured after an explosion took place in Bhopal-Ujjain passenger train in Madhya Pradesh's Shajapur district yesterday.
