Bengaluru, 9 March : The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has divulged fresh visuals of the prime suspect linked to the Bengaluru Cafe blast, intensifying its call for public cooperation in swiftly bringing him to justice.
This move comes subsequent to the agency’s earlier dissemination of CCTV footage featuring the alleged perpetrator across its various social media platforms. By unveiling two additional clips, the NIA seeks to enlist the assistance of citizens in the crucial task of identifying the individual in question, underscoring the significance of prompt action in this ongoing investigation. Furthermore, the agency has underscored its commitment to maintaining the confidentiality of informants who come forward with pertinent details regarding the suspect.
The initial footage, spanning 49 seconds, captures the suspect boarding a BMTC bus and subsequently assuming a seat. Displaying a degree of apparent caution, he vacates the middle seat, proceeding to navigate towards the rear of the vehicle to evade surveillance by the onboard CCTV system. Subsequently, he is observed reclining on the backseat before disembarking from the bus.
