Groping for a breakthrough four days after the triple blasts, police on Sunday prepared a sketch of a suspect even as the brother of an alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) member died in a hospital in Mumbai after being questioned on Wednesday’s explosions.

Widening the probe, police teams also fanned out to seven States to get definite leads in a desperate hunt for the bombers of the July 13 terror attack that left 19 dead and oover 130 injured.
