Police on trail of Ahmedabad culprits

Indian police defused a live bomb from below a transformer in Varachha locality of Surat yesterday, a day after material to trigger explosions were found in two places in the city.

Investigation into the Ahmedabad serial blasts, which killed at least 49 people and injured 200, currently focuses on three persons who were detained while travelling in a ‘Wagon R’ car from Surat to Surendranagar.

British currency amounting to Rs 2,00,000 and Rs 85,000 was found concealed beneath the car seats.

Investigators have found that the two abandoned cars packed with a large quantity of explosives and found in Poonagam and Hirabaug areas of Surat on Sunday were stolen from Navi Mumbai near Mumbai.

Another abandoned car found after the blasts at Ahmedabad’s Civil Hospital was also stolen.
