Police probing Nagpur links in Saturday's Hyderabad blasts

Nagpur, Aug 27 (ANI): Nagpur Police is conducting investigations in the city to trace any connection to Saturday's twin blasts in Hyderabad.

Pursuing leads from materials used to make bombs, police officials said a chemical substance called "neogel" had been used to make the bombs.

The chemical is used for blasting and mining purposes and is produced under restriction at Amin Explosives Limited in Nagpur about 350 kilometers north ofyderabad.

No arrests have been made so far, but Nagpur Police Commissioneratyapal Singh said investigations are on.

"There is no question of arresting anyone now. Just because the explosives that were used in the blast came from Nagpur, the company here is not responsible for the incident," said Singh.

According to forensic experts, the bombs also contained ammonium nitrate and were placed in wooden boxes fitted with iron pellets. The explosives were kept in knapsacks.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy said that terrorist organisations operating from Bangladesh and Pakistan were suspected to be behind the twin blasts.

Both Islamabad and Dhaka rejected the idea, saying Reddy was jumping into conclusions without evidence.

Saturday's explosions claimed 42 lives and injured about 100 others. (ANI)
