Delhi Police get good response after release of blasts suspects’ sketches

NEW DELHI: A day after releasing sketches of three suspects involved in this past Saturday’s serial blasts in the Capital, the Delhi police questioned half-a-dozen young men, including two from neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday.

The police have received over 200 calls since the sketches were released on Tuesday evening. “We are getting a good response. More and more people should come forward with information about suspicious-looking persons or anyone resembling the sketches,” said a Delhi Police officer.

Acting on one such input, the police reportedly picked up three persons from Janakpuri in West Delhi for questioning. Two more from UP were also questioned.

Investigations so far have revealed that a large part of the material that the Indian Mujahideen posted in the e-mail owning up the series of five blasts in the Capital on Saturday was lifted from the Internet blog of a writer.

Given the striking similarities between the blasts, the police are investigating the possibility that those behind the explosions in Ahmedabad were involved in Delhi too. “We are presently proceeding in that direction and hope to get some results soon. We are getting all possible assistance from our counterparts in other States,” said the police officer.

The police are probing the suspected links of the module that set off the serial blasts in Delhi with its sympathisers in Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Mumbai.

They have also activated their human intelligence network in the Capital to get clues to those involved. The police have requested the public to share any information they might have about people missing since the blasts.

The samples lifted from the blast sites have been sent to the forensic laboratory for examination.
