Six of the eight deadly blasts were reportedly carried out by seven suicide bombers during Easter celebrations on the island-nation; 24 people have been arrested in connection with the tragedy, but no organisation has claimed responsibility for the blasts so far.
Indian authorities have confirmed the death of two Indian nationals in a recent series of blasts in Sri Lanka, which have killed almost 300 people and left hundreds of others wounded.
According to a statement by India’s High Commission in Sri Lanka, the two individuals were identified as K G Hanumantharayappa and M Rangappa. They are said to have been workers from the Janata Dal (Secular), or JD(S), an Indian political party governing the southwestern state of Karnataka together with the Indian National Congress.
