The Bangalore police have released the sketch of a man suspected of carrying out the recent blasts near Chinnaswamy stadium on April 17. Fourteen people were injured in two blasts near the stadium barely an hour before the IPL match between Mumbai Indians Bangalore Royal Challengers. The police later found two live bombs near the stadium, which were promptly defused. The suspect is 5.5 feet tall, lean and has a wheatish complexion, said Police Commissioner Shankar Bidri.
Bengaluru Police Commissioner Shankar Bidri confirmed that the bomb was similar to the one used in the serial blasts on Friday. Bidri added that a man wearing a red T-shirt had planted the bomb near the mall on Saturday morning.
Commissioner of Police, Bangalore city, Shankar Bidri said that the organizers of the Indian Premier League will have to make security arrangements on their own when matches are played in Bangalore during the elections.
A crude explosion on Friday in Bangalore sent panic waves. The explosion occurred behind the Rasheed Hotel in Hoysalanagar in Bangalore.
The NSG will work along with the Special Investigation Team and the City Crime Branch.
