Pune: Two days after a
series of four coordinated but low-intensity blasts rocked the
city, police Friday remained tight-lipped about the progress of
the investigation even as sketches of two suspects were prepared
and the four people detained for questioning, released.
Pune police had detained four people including the sole injured
victim Dayanand Patil, a tailor. The others were Patil's wife
Satyasheela and Balu and Chintu Deshmukh - two brothers who own
Sony Cycle Trading Co - the shop from where the cycles used in the
blast were purchased.
"They have been released after questioning," an official from Pune
police said Friday.
Police officials also said that the sketches of two persons who
may have planted explosives have been prepared and investigations
are on.
Four blasts within 45 minutes rocked different locations on the
busy Junglee Maharaj Road of Pune Wednesday evening.
"We have got the sketches of two suspects prepared. Those
investigating the serial blasts have been given the copies of
these sketches for any leads," the official said.
Teams of the Pune police's Crime Branch, the state Anti-Terrorism
Squad and the National Investigation Agency were probing the
bombings.
Sources in the Pune police said that the investigators have
approached mobile operators and are trying to track any suspicious
calls made before or after the blasts.
Maharashtra Home Minister R. R. Patil had Thursday said that
ammonium nitrate is suspected to be the explosive used in the
bombs.
"According to preliminary reports, ammonium nitrate was the
primary ingredient used in the devices which were apparently
triggered by electronic triggers. We are awaiting a detailed
forensic report on this," Patil said.
