The duo boarded the train from Old Delhi Railway station on Sunday night and had alighted from it about 15 minutes before the explosions when the train had slowed down near the Deewana station, Inspector General Rohtak Range Sharad Kumar said.

He said the sketches have been prepared on the basis of descriptions provided by passengers.

"The two suspects had a heated argument with the personnel of Railway Protection Force for about 20 minutes in the train and they alighted from it when it slowed down near Deewana station," Kumar said.
