After completing the required formalities, the suspects were lined up along with dummies and the court called the witnesses to identify them.

Four eyewitnesses, who also sustained injuries in the blast, identified the four suspects and deposed that the latter parked an explosives-laden motorcycle in the parking area and detonated it through a remote control shortly after their departure in a rickshaw from the scene of crime.

The names of witnesses were not disclosed due to security reasons.
