Heavy rains reportedly washed away a lot of forensic evidences, said the scientist who is investigating into the case.

The police have covered the blast spots with plastic sheets to prevent any further damage to evidences.

During the blast at all the three places — Zaveri Bazaar, Kubutarkhana and Opera House — there was continuous rain in the city.

Forensic experts from the state forensic laboratory in Kalina as well as those from Hyderabad and Delhi collected samples of forensic evidence only by late Wednesday night and again on Thursday morning.

“But heavy rain drained away the possible clues left at the blast site, making it difficult for the scientific investigation,” said a senior official from Directorate of Forensic Laboratory, Kalina.

The forensic officials added that though the case is being investigated on a priority basis, it will take more time for them to collect evidences.

Another important thing which has caused harm to the forensic investigation is the piling up of debris at the sites after the blasts.

“The debris is being carefully removed so that no evidence is
destroyed,” said Rakesh Maria, ATS chief.

Prima facie, the team of experts from different laboratories said that ammonium nitrate has been used to cause the blast.

The bombs were reportedly connected to timer devices. The experts are also examining the tiffin boxes which are believed to have been found at the blast site.

Scientists said that they will be examining the vehicles on which the bombs are believed to have been installed by the accused.

“The forensic investigation will help a lot in their investigation,” said the police.

The police will send the CCTV footages to the forensic experts. CCTV cameras had been installed outside the shops in Zaveri Bazaar. But, the CCTV cameras were damaged during the blasts.
