Minutes away from there, the traffic became a snarl and he knew he would not make it in time so he asked to turn back. And the blast happened just then!”

Reportedly, Abhishek was in the city for some promotional activities and to shoot some parts of his upcoming film Delhi 6.

One bomb was exploded in Connaught Place and one was defused by the security forces.

Meanwhile, Delhi police has detained as many as eight people in connection with the serial blasts and is haunting for the alleged mastermind Abdul Subhan alias Tauqeer, a software engineer believed to be the one who cracked the IP address to send the threat e-mail.
