New Delhi: Breakthrough continued to elude Delhi Police yesterday (Nov 04, 2005) as they hunted for leads in the serial blasts case and questioned persons resembling a suspect whose sketch had been released on Wednesday (Nov 02, 2005).

A number of calls were received from across the city and even as far as Meerut about possible suspects and investigators were kept busy checking out the claims.
