Tej Ram was apprehended by NIA sleuths on Monday afternoon from Ravidas Marg area of Depalpur, 15km from here, Sub Divisional Officer of Police Shaligram Sankhedia said today.
He said Tej Ram is a driver by profession.
He is believed to be a member of the right wing group that is suspected to be behind the Samjhauta Express blast which claimed 68 lives on February 18, 2007.
Nine people were killed in the blast during Friday prayers at Mecca Masjid on May 18, 2007. Five more people were killed in police firing on protesters outside the mosque after the blasts.
Earlier this month, NIA had arrested two persons -- Dhan Singh and Rajinder Chaudhary -- in connection with the Samjhauta Express blast case.
