Two people have been arrested in connection with the Feb 13 bombing here, police said Tuesday as the toll in the terror attack rose to 10 with a 24-year-old college student from Uttar Pradesh succumbing to his injuries.<\/p>\n
Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh said two people had been nabbed Monday night but declined to give details.<\/p>\n
He said Abhishek Saxena, a student of D.Y. Patil College here, succumbed to his injuries at the Budhrani Hospital Tuesday morning. The 24-year old student hailed from Uttar Pradesh and his body had been handed over to relatives.<\/p>\n
Another 37 victims are currently undergoing treatment in various city hospitals; of these at least two are reported to be in a critical condition.<\/p>\n
Addressing mediapersons briefly, the police commissioner said significant clues had been recovered from the CCTV footage of a hotel opposite the German Bakery, the blast site.<\/p>\n
“We are now hunting for the prime accused in the case and expect to make an important breakthrough in the blast investigations very soon,” Satyapal Singh asserted.<\/p>\n
He said the forensic report of the blast site had revealed that the bomb contained a deadly mixture of ammonium nitrate, RDX and petroleum hydrocarbons.<\/p>\n
“We are still awaiting details of the composition of these materials used in the bomb,” he added.<\/p>\n
RDX was also used in the used in the March 12, 1993 Mumbai serial blasts and several other terror attacks later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
