NEW DELHI, Feb 23, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- Indian police are looking for a suspect in the Thursday Hyderabad blasts, after finding a man in his early 30's seen reaching the place of explosions in a closed circuit television camera video shot near the spot at that time, reported local media.


At last 16 were killed and over 110 injured in the twin blasts in downtown Hyderabad's crowded Dilsukhnagar commercial area.

A man believed to be in his early thirties was seen reaching the place on a bicycle with a bag hung to its carrier a few minutes before the blasts, Indo-Asian News Service quoted police as saying.

He was seen reaching the area at 18:38 p.m., 10 minutes before the first blast at Anand Tiffin Center in front of Konark theater at the site of the explosion. The second blast took place at 19:01 p.m. a few meters away. The bombs at both the places were planted on old bicycles, according to the report.

The surveillance camera installed in front of Dilsukhnagar bus station captured the image of the suspect. However, his face is not clearly visible.

dollars for anyone providing information about the suspect.

Local media said police believed the blasts were the work of militant group Indian Mujahideen, which was held responsible for a series of terrorist attacks in the past across the country, including the 2010 attack against a German bakery in the western Indian city Pune.
