Gaya : The live cctv footage from cameras installed around the world famous Maha Bodhi shrine in Bodh Gaya clearly shows the assailants walking around the UNESCO heritage spot unfettered by security personnel early in the morning.
The cctv footage shows people running helter-skelter soon after blasts, with their hands over their ears.

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar told reporters in Patna on Monday that the state government will handle all expenses for posting CISF personnel for securing the Maha Bodhi temple.

“CISF is a capable and efficient central security force. We have asked the Centre to provide CISF to protect the shrine”, said Kumar.

Meanwhile, both Bihar Police and National Investiagation Agency sleuths are working on various leads to catch the petrpetrators of Sunday morning’s outrage.

NIA sleuths are checking an abandoned bag containing the I-card of a Gaya cycle mechanic and a monk’s robe.

Nitish Kumar said, the historic Maha Bodhi tree, where Buddha received enlightenment, was safe despite a low intensity blast.

He appealed to political parties not to politicize the terror act.
