Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Delhi police on Friday released CCTV footage of the blast which rocked the Greater Kailash market on September 13.
The dramatic footage shows the bomb going off when the time-code reads 6:32.
The camera has also captured footage of window panes of nearby shops shattering and of panicky people running for cover.
Nobody was killed in the blast that rocked GK-1 M-Block market, one among the five that shook the Capital on Saturday. [Read Story Serial blasts in Delhi, 20 killed]
A certain portion of footage, timed at 6:25 - seven minutes before the blasts - shows a person clad in white with a carry-bag in his hand.
Police suspect this man planted the bomb.
However, while the CCTV installed at GK managed to capture the crucial footage, investigating agencies reportedly drew a blank trying to get footage off the other blast sites.
The cameras installed at all the other blast sites were reportedly dysfunctional and therefore could not capture anything.
How CCTVs help
CCTV cameras are among the most vital devices to monitor activity in a public place.
But most of these cameras in the Capital are not operational and many of them are in a poor condition.
In the commercial hub of Karol Bagh, only five of the 28 CCTV cameras installed function. Those that function, do not give a 360 degree view, thereby defeating the purpose.
