Police said the blasts left a total of 75 persons dead (73 adults and 2 children) and 70 others with varying degrees of injuries. But this has been contradicted by the National Emergency Management Agency, which gave a death tally of 118.

He appealed for useful information that could help in unmasking the authors and sponsors of the crime.
