“It is known that he has travelled by bus; based on those leads, officials are following up. They have got important leads,” he said, adding that there are leads that the suspect travelled towards Tumakuru by bus and officials were investigating it.
“Officials have checked the footage; they have certain leads. They are verifying from here until Ballari,” he added.
Meanwhile, new video footage of the suspect with a backpack, wearing a full-sleeved shirt, cap, facemask, and spectacles, moving in the bus has surfaced. From the video, it seems that the suspect, after noticing the camera in the bus, moved in a direction where it did not cover him.
Also, an unverified photograph of the suspect wearing a T-shirt, without a face mask, cap or spectacles, sitting inside the bus is also doing the rounds.
The NIA has announced a Rs 10 lakh cash reward for information about the bomber.
