As an Indian Mujahideen (IM) link with the Pune attack is increasingly suspected, investigators were today set to quiz one of its key men Shahzad over the presence of the terror group’s sleeper cells in Maharashtra, especially in this city.
Investigators were also looking for possible clues in the CCTV footage obtained from a five-star hotel in the vicinity of German Bakery, which was blasted in the terror attack leaving nine dead and 60 injured on Saturday night. According to police sources, the footage shows movement of two suspects who could have planted the explosives in the bakery.
The lead however, needed to be corroborated and it was premature to draw any conclusion at this preliminary stage of investigations, they added. Pune Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh told reporters there were no concrete leads yet and that investigations into the blast was on the “right track”.
