PUNE: The Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP) D Sivanandan
has admitted that the investigations by the state ATS into the
February 13 German Bakery terror attack have gone wrong.

"The ATS has to study the case scientifically and collect evidence to
identify the group behind the attack", he said, talking to reporters
on the sidelines of a function on Tuesday night.

Sivanandan said he was aware that four months had passed since the
incident but stressed that the investigating agency should not be put
under pressure of time frame.

"The first mistake was the blast and second wrong investigation. What
we need is right investigation at right time," the police chief who
was here to inaugurate an induction course for the state CID officers,
remarked.

A Sessions court in Mumbai on Tuesday granted bail to Abdul Samad,
arrested by the ATS in an arms case and for suspected involvement in
the Pune terror attack.
