A motorbike with an “incendiary bomb” was used and the bike was planted
in the midst of cars for the blast outside the BJP office in Bangalore,
yesterday.
In a swift action, the city police have traced the registered owner of
the motorbike which was used for bomb blast in Bangalore, in which 16
people were injured.
The number plate of the bike has been traced to a retired telecom
employee here, who said that he had sold the bike about four years ago, a
police source said.
Tamil Nadu registration number (TN 22 R 3769) belonged to K S
Sankaranarayanan, a resident of Thillai Ganga Nagar here, they said.
“The bike was in my son’s name. But we sold it about four years back, since my son left for the US”, he told the police.
Sankaranarayanan, said he was shocked when police knocked his door and
told him that the bike had been used in the Bangalore blast.
Police sources said that while they were tracking down the number plate
of the bike, they were also inquiring whether a fake number plate was
used.
Investigations are on with the state police coordinating with their
counterparts in Karnataka and the National Investigation Agency, the
sources said.
