Bangalore, Aug 7: The Gujarat police on Wednesday, Aug 6 released the sketches of three suspects, who allegedly planted bomb on cycles at three places during the July 26 serial blasts that ripped the city of Ahmedebad.

The sketches are of three persons who are suspected to have planted bombs in the Narol, Hatekeshwar and Raipur areas of the city. They were prepared on the basis of descriptions given by eye witnesses, police said. Ahmedabad Joint Police Commissioner H P Singh said the sketches were prepared on the basis of the descriptions given by eyewitnesses, who claimed to have seen the bombers at the Narol circle near a Hanuman temple, at the Hatkeshwar circle at Maninagar and at the Raipur circle, Khadia, on July 26 evening.

The third suspect was the person who had purchased a cycle, which was later found used in the Raipur Circle blast. He was 5"8" tall, aged about 21, of bright wheatish complexion with back-brush hair, and medium built.

Meanwhile, the death toll in the Ahmedabad blasts has gone to 56, with one more person dying in the civil hospital on Tuesday night.
