New Delhi: The Delhi Police has finally released five sketches of three suspects who are believed to have carried out Saturday evening's multiple bombings across the Capital.

While one of the sketches identifies the bomber who carried out the blast at the Ghaffar Market in Karol Bagh, the other identifies the bomber who carried out the Barakhamba Road explosion.

"While two sketches are of the same suspect, we spoke with several witnesses. They helped us,” says Delhi police spokesperson, Rajan Bhagat.

On Tuesday, another witness claimed he had spotted two people resembling the Ahmedabad blasts suspects.

Officials identified the accused as Alamzeb Afridi, Mujeeb Jamilbhai Shiekh, Abdul Razzak and Qayamuddin and fear they could also have been involved in the Delhi blasts.

“I saw two men who resemble the pictures that I saw in the papers today. They had come to see the Friday evening show of Singh is Kingg. I stopped one of them as he was going towards the ladies washroom,” recalls gatekeeper of Regal cinema, Dinesh Bhatnagar - an important lead as a live bomb was defused opposite the Regal cinema soon after explosions.

After managing to piece together sketches of bombers responsible for at least two blasts, the Delhi Police are now questioning Dinesh to verify if his version is indeed of any value to the investigation.

Sources suspect the bombs were assembled locally by one module, while another module entered the city a day in advance to plant the bombs.

Sources say the second module may have left the city within soon after the explosions.
