Sketches of suspected bombers who placed explosives in Connaught Place in the national capital are being prepared by Delhi Police with the help of five eye-witnesses.     
Five persons, including a teenage balloon seller, who saw suspected persons placing packets in the dustbins at Central Park and Barakhamba Road were called to Police Headquarters here this morning to assist them in making sketches, a senior police official said.     

Besides the teenager, a father-son duo who sell fried items at Barakhamba Road were also among those summoned to the headquarters.     

"We are questioning them and trying to prepare sketches," the official said.     

The teenager identified as Rahul (12) claimed that he saw two men placing a packet inside a dustbin. The boy claimed that the bearded men wore pyjama-kurta and left in an three-wheeler minutes before the blast.     

"They met quickly and went to the parking. A man was wearing black clothes. They came here and put a black polythene in the dustbin and went away," Rahul had said.      At least 21 people were killed in the five blasts at three places in the national capital last evening.
