SIT hunt on for man on scooter





By Our Correspondent



Hyderabad, Aug. 28: The special investigation team probing Saturday%u2019s twin blasts is trying to trace a mysterious scooterist who had handed over a backpack containing an unexploded bomb to the police.



An unexploded bomb was found on Saturday evening near the foot overbridge at Moosarambagh in the Malakpet area of the city. However, police officers have given conflicting versions about its discovery.



According to one version, the suspect who was driving a motorcycle was stopped for a traffic offence. "He did not have any documents with him," said a senior police officer. "He requested the home guard to hold his bag while he went home to fetch his papers. But he didn%u2019t return."



The home guard then took the bag and put it on a scooter parked by the roadside. When the person who was driving this scooter came out, he found the backpack and handed it over to the police, saying that it was not his.



The traffic police held on to the backpack containing the bomb for more than half an hour without opening it.



However, traffic police and other police officers who were on the spot deny this version, and say that there was only one man on a two-wheeler, and that he had found the backpack lying on his scooter.



Malakpet Inspector M. Prabhakar said he and two sub-inspectors were clearing vendors who had encroached upon the footpat
