Mumbai, May 14 (PTI) The CCTV footage and images of the number plate of the vehicle involved in the improvised explosive device (IED) recovery incident in Hadapsar in Maharashtra’s Pune city are being enhanced through technology to zero in on the accused, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Thursday.

The incident is certainly an attempt at sabotage, the CM told reporters here.

A device containing low-grade explosives was found inside the washroom of Usha Kiran Hospital in Hadapsar on Wednesday evening, which was disposed of by a team of the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS).

“The material recovered has been thoroughly analysed. The CCTV footage is being enhanced to identify the person involved. The number plate of the vehicle used is also being enhanced through artificial intelligence for clear identification,” Fadnavis said.

The CCTV footage enhancement is giving results and it is now becoming clear who the person is in the incident, he added.

“It is certain that this was an attempt at sabotage of some kind. The police will soon brief you with complete details,” the CM further told reporters.
