Chennai: In the footage released by the Crime Branch of the state police, a man is seen suspiciously alighting from the train just after it pulled into the Chennai Central Station. He then runs away and is not seen getting back on the train in the video captured by cameras at the station. The police are yet to make any arrests. Â
As per initial investigations, there is no evidence to suggest that the bombs in the train were planted in Chennai. The explosions occurred nearly 10 minutes after the arrival of the train, running late by 90 minutes. Cops say the blasts would have occurred in Andhra Pradesh where Modi was to address rallies. had the train been on schedule. There has been speculation that the blasts were originally timed to disrupt Narendra Modi’s rallies in coastal Andhra Pradesh. The Tamil Nadu police, however, have dismissed this theory.
