Crucial evidence in the Pune blast case may have been lost as the Pune police, initially assuming it to be an LPG explosion, called in the fire brigade and asked it to wash the site clean to prevent further damage.
Immediately after the explosion at German Bakery at 6.52 pm on February 13, the police summoned the fire brigade, saying there had been a cylinder blast and the place needed cleaning up. Within minutes, six fire tenders reached the spot.
The police realized it was a terror attack more than an hour-and-a-half later, after experts of the Armyââ¬â¢s Southern Command who examined the site confirmed a bomb had
gone off. By then, the floor was flooded with water, and key evidence washed away, forensic experts said.
The site was not even cordoned off till late in the night.
