Let $t in mathbb{N}$, $eta >0$. Suppose that $x$ is a sufficiently large real number and $q$ is a natural number with $q leq x^{5/12-eta}$, $q$ not a multiple of the conductor of the exceptional character $chi^*$ (if it exists). Suppose further that, [ max {p : p | q } < exp (frac{log x}{C log log x}) ; ; {and} ; ; prod_{p | q} p < x^{delta}, ] where $C$ and $delta$ are suitable positive constants depending on $t$ and $eta$. Let $a in mathbb{Z}$, $(a,q)=1$ and [ mathcal{A} = {n in (x/2, x]: n equiv a pmod{q} } . ] We prove that there are primes $p_1 < p_2 < ... < p_t$ in $mathcal{A}$ with [ p_t - p_1 ll qt exp (frac{40 t}{9-20 theta}) . ] Here $theta = (log q) / log x$.
