    The bottles in which petrol and rags were used for incendiary effect are manufactured in Mumbai but only distributed in Indore and Hyderabad. These bottles are available within half-a-kilometre of the Indore dealer.

    The lunch box in which the potassium nitrate explosive was kept was of “Saurav Super” brand that is only available in Indore.
