The trio, coincidentally all called Kumar, a common name in India, will secure at least bronze if they win their next bouts.

Light-flyweight Jitender Kumar reached the last eight on Saturday by outpointing Uzbek Tulashboy Doniyorov 13-6 and middleweight Vijender Kumar followed him through with a 13-3 points win over Thailand’s Angkhan Chomphuphuang.

Bantamweight Akhil Kumar had advanced on Friday, extending a brilliant run by upsetting Russian world champion Sergey Vodopyanov.

Jitender, who survived a fright when Doniyorov opened a cut on his chin but was able to finish the bout, paid tribute to Akhil for giving him precious advice.

“Akhil had fought him (Doniyorov) before and knew a lot about him,” Jitender said. “We talked about the fight last night. I couldn’t sleep but Akhil told me I would win. All the credit goes to him.”

Jitender will be tested in the next round when he meets Russia’s Georgy Balakshin.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Police arrested 10 people on Saturday who they said were behind bomb attacks which killed at least 45 people in Ahmedabad last month.

Police said one of those arrested, Abu Bashir, was the mastermind of the bombings and that all the suspects were active members of the banned Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI).

“As of information we have right now, he is the mastermind of the blasts (and) this network is the brains behind the blasts,” senior police officer P. C. Pande told a news conference in Ahmedabad.

At least 16 bombs exploded in Ahmedabad on July 26, a day after another set of blasts in Bangalore killed a woman. Three days later, several unexploded bombs were found in the town of Surat, in Gujarat.

A little-known group called the “Indian Mujahideen” had claimed responsibility for the Ahmedabad attacks. But Pande said Indian Mujahideen was just “another identity” for SIMI.
