Thailand's Erawan Brahma temple, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bangkok, was reopened on Wednesday for worshippers and tourists three days after a blast at the shrine killed 20 people, as police intensified their hunt for a suspect believed to be the bomber.
The Indian who hails from Bengaluru has been working with a Information Technology service company in Thailand and his record was found clear, official sources said on Wednesday.
The two Indians, who were not identified, have been taken to a military camp for questioning, The Nation quoted the police as saying.
The 28-year-old man, who was not identified and was arrested from his rented apartment in Nong Chok district in a suburb in eastern Bangkok, was also found in possession of multiple passports.
Cops believe he is part of a network and announced a reward of 1 million baht (Rs 18 lakh) for information leading to his arrest.
Police confirmed the explosion, near a shrine at a major Bangkok road, was from a bomb but no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
A series of blasts rocked Thailand, including two famous tourist spots popular with foreigners, within 12 hours, killing four persons and injuring several others.
Thailand authorities on Tuesday launched a hunt for a male "suspect" who may have left a bomb inside the hugely popular Lord Brahma temple in a crowded area in central Bangkok that killed at least 20 people and injured 123 others.
