We were keeping a close watch on his movements and as soon as we had confirmed knowledge about him, we rushed an STF team and they finally got him.

We are grateful to the people that they have not allowed this situation to take a communal turn.

We suspect terrorists because the modus operandi was similar to what had happened in Delhi.

We suspect it is a terrorist act. We are high alert for tomorrow.

I have directed the zonal inspector general of police to carry out the inquiry and fix responsibility for misbehavior of cops with ordinary citizens.

There are some casualties. The position is not clear because there is a lot of crowd there. Security has been increased in the city.

We are collecting evidence. We do not have any solid proof to move in a particular direction.

There is reason to suspect an LeT hand behind this. The damage caused by the blasts shows the bombs were powerful and they could not have been engineered by local groups.

The bomb was placed near a tree where women usually sit and take rest. Moreover, a wedding was just over when the blast took place. Had the blast taken place a few minutes earlier, the toll could have been more.
