On digging the soil of the plot, they found 13 bombs. During the excavation, a bomb exploded and caused injuries to SHO Super Market Mohammad Sarwar Khan. He was taken to Aga Khan Hospital where his condition was stated to be out of danger. He suffered injuries to his face, head, chest and the lower parts of his body.

The police seized 12 bombs which were defused by the the bomb disposal squad at the Liaquatabad police station. Five of the bombs had timers attached. They weighed between half a kilogram to 250 grams.

However, in a press release issued by the office of the Nazim Union Council No. 8, Jamali Colony of Gulshan-i-Iqbal, it was claimed that though the recovery of the bombs was shown to have taken place in their locality, the bombs were discovered somewhere else.
