Forensics analysis of samples collected from the blast site revealed that the IED contained [[aluminium powder]] mixed with [[sulphur]], and residues of [[potassium nitrate]]. The report declared, "This combination is highly dangerous but do not pose heavy damage". The report also found that the explosive mixture was kept in a pipe casing filled with iron nails. The pipe casing used to fill the explosive material was estimated to be around 8 to 9 inches, and the weight of the explosives around 200 grams. According to the forensics report, "A remote sensor was used to cause the blast. And the woman who was killed not because of the flying nails getting stuck on her temple but mainly due to the [[wikt:shrapnel|shrapnel]] flying from the pipe casing which was stuffed with the explosives."<ref name="The Times of India">{{cite web|title=Church street blast: final FSL report reaches city police - Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/Church-street-blast-final-FSL-report-reaches-city-police/articleshow/46486289.cms|website=The Times of India|accessdate=19 December 2016}}</ref>
