The Investigation

Police started developing the face which they saw on CCTV. While watching the CCTV footage they figured out that the lady had got down at the airport from a bus. From every stoppage where the bus stopped the CCTV footage was collected. In the meantime a sketch of the lady shown on the CCTV was developed and published in all the leading daily newspapers with the hope that someone will identify.

In the CCTV scanning police found out that the lady had taken a taxi to reach to the bus stop. The taxi number was noted and the driver was contacted; the driver gave the location from where he had picked up the lady. Further investigation showed that the lady had changed 4 taxis and all taxis were booked from different numbers with different names and they had been activated just one week back. However the police was still not able to find the residence where this lady lived; there was no idea that whether this lady lived in Bangalore or she had come from some other city to Bangalore just to execute the terror mission.

As the police was busy in their investigation; the people of India got busy with a candle march procession and started demanding for a safer India. People from all walks of lives had joined this procession and there was serious concern raised over the safety of people travelling in buses, trains, and flights. The identification process of those who died in the blast was completed and families were informed of the darkness which would be there during this diwali. Both the center and state government announced compensation for those who died in the blast; the money which these families would be receiving could never fill the emptiness which was left in their lives. However other than crying and missing their loved ones there was nothing more which these families could do.

Diwali was over and almost after 15 days of blast police was still not able to find any clue about the lady. And then one fine day an old lady visited the police station with a photo; the photo was of the same lady who had blasted herself; the old lady said she had seen her photo in the newspaper and she wanted to give some information. The old lady said that she had gone to a wedding and when she returned back and was looking at the newspaper she found this photo. She gave the residence address where the young lady lived and immediately the police rushed to the location. The door was locked; police broke down the house; they started finding the evidence which could be useful for them. There was a laptop but it was completely destroyed; there was nothing in the laptop which could help the police in getting closer to others who were involved in the terror attack. However police took the laptop in their possession and started interrogating the people living in the neighborhood.

During the interrogation they got to know that the house belonged to someone who was living in US and gave the house to the blast lady on rent. The person who had given the house was contacted and details were asked as to how was the house given on rent. The person said that the house was given on rent with the help of a broker and broker details were given. The broker who had given the house was contacted; he checked his file and found out the booking details. He gave the identification proof which was given by the lady. Police began tracking of the address which was mentioned in the id proof but no such address existed. Police started feeling that they will never be able to solve this case.
