The Investigation - 2

In the meantime techniques were being used to find out laptop details and finally they were able to find the laptop number and the address from where it was purchased. The address from Bangalore itself; police went to the shop and gave the laptop details. It was a small one room shop and the owner would be somewhere in his 50s; he found out the date of purchase of the laptop. Police asked the shop owner that whether he had a CCTV camera installed to which the owner said there was a CCTV and it was working. Police asked the owner to give the footage of the day when the laptop was purchased. The footage was taken and analyzed; with the help of date and time mentioned on the bill the person who had purchased the laptop was identified. Police could see a young man’s face and started developing the face and published it in all the leading daily newspapers. Also the same face was circulated on the social networking sites and shared across by people. Police was not sure that whether this man was alive or not but he was the only hope for them to reach to the culprits.

Almost one month was over after diwali and everyone in India had got busy with the New Year which was few days away. A photoshop enthusiastic guy took the photo of the face which was being circulated on the social networking site. He started playing with the photo by putting a beard with different styles and then he came across a face which he had seen somewhere. He started adding other features and he was shocked to see the exactly same face of a guy is working at his office. He was not sure about what he should do and with both the photographs (one circulated on internet and another which he had created) he took them to his HR and discussed with her. Immediately they informed police and when the police reached the office they gave them details of the employee whose photo was developed using photoshop. However just on the basis on this photograph the guy could not be arrested police needed some more evidence.

The cyber cell of the office was involved and they started tracking the system on which the guy used to work. The guy did just one mistake that once he opened his personal mail from the office system. The personal mail was hacked and police found out all the planning and plotting which was done for the Bangalore blast. Finally the guy was arrested on the basis of these mails and he admitted to be involved in the crime.

The mails revealed details about how the entire blast was planned. Before the blast certain people started working as the hospitality and ground staff at Bangalore airport and started scanning each and every detail. The time taken for the bag to travel for the bag on the conveyor belt to the luggage scanning machine was calculated. A proper training was given to the lady for the blast. These people had already figured out that the luggage which is carried by the person is not scanned at the entry on the airport. They considered this to their advantage and this is how the entire terror attack was planned.

Bangalore was always on the hit list of terrorists and they were looking for an opportunity where maximum threat could be created among people. Finally the other culprits involved in the case were also caught and the Indian police along with the help of certain good citizens of India was able to solve the case.

-- The End

In places like Ranchi or Varanasi check-in luggage is scanned before collecting the boarding pass. However in places like Delhi or Bangalore I believe the check-in luggage is scanned after the passenger collects the boarding pass. The difference in the check-in luggage scanning process for domestic flights in different cities could be best known to the airport authorities. This story is purely based on imagination and with this story I don’t wish to give any suggestive ideas for deadly crime.

Also I would like to add that on September 2001 when there were twin attacks on WTC and one attack on Pentagon (US Defence Headquarters) the security at airports became a big concern. After 2001 also there have been several incidents of terror attacks in flights and plane hijacking. On 26 November 2011 again when there was a terror attack on Mumbai's Taj Hotel everyone across the country was shocked. Terrorism and terrorists who are ready to kill themselves and take away lives of innocent people are the biggest threat for humanity. A human bomb will never come knocking at our door and seeking permission for an attack.

P.S. If you feel the imagination in the story is good please share it across with your friends. There could be certain loopholes but I have tried my level best to ensure the flow of story doesn’t bore the readers. Well sharing is free and I hope as a reader you will acknowledge this story by sharing it with family and friends.

P.P.S. With this story I complete my 50 blogs; some good and some not so good.
