I have seen a Press report that following the discovery of bombs in a garden on the outskirts of Indore City an Indian was taken into custody. I have no information in regard to the second part of the question, but will inquire.

Secretary of State

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
