Mumbai/Hyderabad: A day after the twin terror strikes in Hyderabad, grief overwhelmed the families of the two youngsters from the city who were among the 42 victims of the mindless carnage. “Sab kuchh khatam ho gaya,’’ said Abdul Ghani Khan as he broke down on receiving his 19-year-old son Irshad’s body in Saki Naka. Irshad’s mother, his three sisters and a brother too could not control their emotions. A second-year engineering student in Pune, Irshad had gone on a study tour to Hyderabad. At the other end of town, in Kalyan, the Chaudhuri family mourned the death of 20-year-old collegian Kiran just hours after his father, a railway goods guard, escaped unhurt in a train derailment at Titwala. Meanwhile, the AP government gropes in the dark for clues about who plotted and executed the blasts. Although fingers point at HuJI, Bangladesh and Pakistan, the only progress made so far is that the material used in the bomb has been identified as Neogel-90, an explosive which was made and sold in Nagpur. One suspect has been rounded up and seven special police teams formed to track down sleeper terror cells. Incidentally, investigators see similarities between the Hyderabad blasts and the pre-Diwali attacks in Delhi’s Sarojini Nagar in 2005.
