Continuing the recording of his statement, retired Delhi Police ACP Dharmpal testified that after writing the disclosure statement of Kartar Singh Narang, the alleged mastermind of the blast who is no more, searches were carried out at his house and a articles “which could be used in making bombs” were subsequently recovered.

According to Dharmpal, cabinets of transistors were also found at his house along with electric wires, detonators and timers—which were allegedly used in preparing explosives in transistor-like contraptions.

The recovery was made after Narang was interrogated and public witnesses had joined in the process, Dharmpal told Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Kumar. As his testimony today remained inconclusive, the court would further record his statement tomorrow.

Meanwhile, prosecution witness Surender Kumar also testified in the case but failed to answer the questions, contending he had forgotten the details due to lapse of time.

In May 1985, a series of blasts in transistor-like contraptions in buses and public places in Delhi, Sonepat and Sahibabad by alleged sympathisers of separate Khalistan movement had killed 59 people and injured 127 others.
