The 60 hours of CCTV footage obtained by the special cell of the Hyderabad police will be crucial in cracking the twin blasts case. The police have managed to get access to footage from four cameras installed near the Dilsusknagar blast site.
The clearest images have been procured from a private camera installed on top of a house in the area. The footage shows two people plating bombs on Thursday evening, said sources from the Hyderabad police.

Also, the police are studying footage from the camera at the nearby Sai Baba temple, which was first on the target list of terrorists. However, these images are hazy.
The footage from the other two cameras may not be of much use to investigators. They primarily have captured the commotion caused by the blasts and only 10 minutes of it. There was power outage following the attack after which these two cameras went blank.
“It is more important that we study the footage that was captured from 6 pm on Thursday evening. Around this time the bombers entered the scene. It appears that they were trying to plant the bomb at the Sai Temple at first, but changed their plan immediately after they found heavy police presence there due to the police commissioner’s visit,”
