Around 1 to 1.5 kg RDX used in Pune blast: Forensic report

MUMBAI: The forensic report into Pune blast has said around one to one and a half kg of RDX was used in the explosion, sources said.

"The forensic report has confirmed that RDX was used and the quantity was around one to one and a half kg," sources told PTI.

The report is expected to be submitted to concerned officials today, sources said.

Meanwhile, investigators are looking for possible clues in the CCTV footage obtained from a five star hotel in the vicinity of German Bakery, blasted in the terror attack leaving nine dead and 60 injured.

According to police, the footage showed movement of two suspects who could have planted the explosives in the bakery on February 13.

The lead, however, needed to be corroborated and it is premature to draw any conclusion at this preliminary stage of investigations, they said.

There was no official confirmation available of the reported finding.

An official spokesperson had mentioned about the recovery of the CCTV footage at a press briefing held in Mumbai yesterday.

NIA, Delhi and ATS Maharashtra teams will jointly probe the case.
