After vehicle found parked at the Opera House site failed to yield any clues, the ATS now believes a biker may hold the key u00a0 With investigations into the Honda Activa parked at the July 13 blast site at Opera House reaching a dead end, the state ATS is now chasing a biker on a Yamaha FZ series motorcycle who allegedly conducted a recce of the spot nearly 4 times before the bomb went off. CCTV footage obtained from cameras around the spot show the biker on the red motorcycle and a pillion rider visiting the area 3 to 4 times on the day of the blast, studying it and leaving in a few minutes. A man is later seen walking into the camera's field of vision, dropping a bag and walking away.

"With the Activa giving us no leads, we are banking heavily on this fresh evidence to help us crack the case. u00a0 The footage is very grainy but we're hoping that the informers will be able to help us identify the biker and the pillion rider," said a senior ATS official. Scooter dud The two mechanics detained in connection with the theft of the Activa scooter found at the site were eventually set free after they denied any role in the blasts despite sustained interrogation.
