Five more bombs were today found during searches at the sprawling Gandhi Maidan, where another political rally is scheduled for tomorrow, after Sunday's multiple blasts at a BJP meeting in which six persons were killed and 82 injured.
A bomb each was found near the Police Information Room, in children's park and a place opposite the Magadh Mahila College, all on Gandhi Maidan, Deputy Superintendent of Police (City) Manoj Kumar Tiwari said.
The three bombs were recovered within a couple of hours of each other, he said.
Late this evening, two more bombs were recovered from the park and the place opposite the college, police sources said.
Two bombs were defused by the bomb disposal squads of the NSG while the third one was being defused, Superintendent of Police (City) Jayant Kant said.
The seizure was made ahead of tomorrow's rally at the Maidan by CPI(M-L) Liberation.
Seven blasts had rocked the Maidan and surrounding areas on Sunday to coincide with the 'Hunkar' rally addressed by BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
