Inspectors A K Girish and G Balraj of Cubbon Park police station in their complaint against the unknown perpetrators, state that while they noticed the bombs around 8 am, they only summoned the bomb disposal squad at 9.30 am and 12 pm respectively.

"Two to fours had passed by the time the bomb disposal squad visited the scene.

Had the bombs exploded in that time, the damage would have been severe," said a senior police officer.

Incidentally, the city police released a sketch of one of the suspects involved in planting explosives at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

The sketch is based on the description of the suspect by a constable who believes to have sighted him around the stadium on May 17.

When the constable reportedly called out to the youth who was moving suspiciously around the stadium around 4 am, he reportedly fled.
