What it can be termed as a major breakthrough in the Pune bomb blast case investigations, sleuths identified a conversation between the two suspected terrorists.

The vital clues have emerged from the CCTV footage from the hotel opposite the German Bakery blast site.


According to sources, at least two people are involved in executing the German Bakery blast on Saturday.



The duo reportedly escaped from the area in an auto rickshaw after leaving a bag full of explosives inside the bakery.

The Pune Police is collecting eyewitness accounts of the suspicious duo spotted in the CCTV footage.

The blast in Pune was reportedly triggered as part of what is called the Karachi Project planned by the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

The details of the alleged Karachi Project were revealed by the arrested suspected Lashkar operative David Coleman Headley to the US' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Headley had recced areas in Pune near the blast site.

He had reportedly also recced other cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Pushkar and Goa, staying close to Jewish prayer centres in these cities.

Paras Rimal, one of the key eye-witnesses of the event, recuperating at Sassoon hospital has been shown the CCTV footage of the blast, said sources.

The footage has been shared by the O hotel, situated right next to German Bakery where the blast occured. Rimal is now being kept under heavy security. No press persons are being allowed to meet him.
