Patna serial blasts: Witness called by NIA gives investigators a slip

The teams came back to Muzaffarpur and housed themselves in Siddharth lodge and Alam who was staying in one of the rooms along with NIA and local police personnel. 

Early morning yesterday, Alam left his room on the pretext of relieving himself and did not return. 

After searching for him in the adjoining areas, the NIA team gave a report to the SHO of the local police station for necessary action, the statement said.
