The Bengaluru City Police have launched a manhunt for the suspected bomber using CCTV camera footage and a partial image of his face. Armed with Artificial Intelligence (AI), the police have been trying to spot him in the footage from hundreds of cameras that dot the IT corridor and have had some success. However, this has not yet given the city police any leads that could potentially identify the suspect, sources said.
The Bengaluru police have pieced together CCTV footage from Kundalahalli bus stop, just a few metres away from The Rameshwaram Cafe, where he boards a BMTC Volvo bus gets down at the next stop, and walks to the restaurant for 300 metres at 11:50 a.m. on Friday, March 1. A tall athletic man aged around 30-40 years, is seen wearing a white cap and a black face mask, with a black backpack. His face is not visible. Police said he had taken a bus just one stop behind the restaurant and had not used a vehicle to avoid detection. They suspect someone dropped him off at Kundalahalli bus stop.
