A strand of hair found
on a defused bomb at Chinnaswamy
Stadium on April 17, 2010
helped Police establish
the identity of a terrorist
who planted it, reports
The Times of India
on August 10. A Bangalore
Police official said the

2010. Siddiqqui was killed
in a brawl in Pune central
jail. According to the
official, four stands
of hair were found on
an unexploded bomb in
front of Gate No. 1 of
the stadium. After Delhi
Police arrested four terrorists,
Bangalore Police sought
custody of three of them.
City Police collected
the samples of the three
terrorists and sent them
to the forensic lab here.

he was dead in the brawl.
"The lab results
came in mid-May and will
be added to the charge
sheet," said T Suneel
Kumar, Additional Commissioner
