The CCTV footage, recovered by cops immediately after murder of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar on Tuesday, has not yielded any concrete clues on the identity of the assailants who gunned down the activist on a city bridge during a morning walk.
Police, who have recovered the video footage from CCTV systems operating at the establishments in the vicinity of the bridge, said it was ‘blurred and unclear’ to offer any lead so far. ‘We are still examining the CCTV footage which has only shown images of two motorbike riders. But it is blurred and unclear to establish identity’, an official in charge of the investigation said.
An eyewitness account of the incident had said that two youths, aged between 25 and 30, had fled the crime scene riding a bike after firing shots at the 69-year-old anti-superstition activist. Police is also verifying the number plate details as given by the eyewitness to trace the vehicle.
