The CCTV footage at the Chennai Central Railway Station shows a middle-aged man, whose face was covered with a handkerchief, running towards the exit minutes before twin bombs went off in two coaches on the Bangalore-Guwahati Express on Thursday morning. The footage, though blur, is being looked at as the first lead in the investigation. So what are the chances of the police nabbing the suspect on the basis of this evidence?
'We have given the authorities our bank details; hope they give us something since we won't be able to work for some time.' A Ganesh Nadar/Rediff.com speaks to passengers injured in the terrors blasts on the Bangalore-Guwahati Express.

The police are investigating whether Al Ummah chief Abu Bakr Siddique, the mastermind of the 2013 Bangalore BJP office blast, was involved in the Chennai train blasts or not.
