BANGALORE, Apr 18 (AFP): Police in the southern Indian city of Bangalore defused two crudely made bombs Sunday, a senior officer said, a day after explosions outside a cricket stadium injured eight people.
Both devices were found next to the 40,000-seater Chinnaswamy Stadium, where the two blasts on Saturday sparked panic among spectators lining up to watch an Indian Premier League Twenty20 match.
One of the defused bombs was near a gate for dignitaries, while the second was beside a billboard, Bangalore police chief Shankar Bidari told reporters.
