An Indian court has remanded in custody a Hindu holy man accused of a string of bomb attacks previously thought to be the work of Muslim militants.

Swami Aseemanand allegedly admitted to placing bombs on a train to Pakistan, at a Sufi shrine and at a mosque.

He has also allegedly confessed to carrying out two assaults on the southern Indian town of Malegaon, which has a large Muslim population.

He has been remanded in custody for the four attacks until 27 January.

3. Actually, it's the other way around. People listened to him and did what he said.

Further in the article, he says he didn't do these acts alone, and that he had help from the Sangh. An organization that is frequently tied to anti-Muslim and anti-Christian riots and also one of it's former members assassinated Gandhi.
