Twin blasts near IPL stadium rock Bangalore

Another live bomb was found near gate number 8 of Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Saturday evening.

The police cordoned off the area and the bomb was soon defused. The police are now searching the area for more bombs.

Earlier, two explosions rocked Bangalore minutes before the Indian Premier League match between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Mumbai Indians on Saturday.

One explosion took place near gate number 12 of the Chinnaswamy Stadium while the second blast occurred near the Anil Kumble circle close to the stadium.

Immediately after the news of the explosion broke out, the players were asked to return to the dressing room. The police then carried out a second round of anti-sabotage operation.
