The CCTV clips were recovered from one of the houses along the street

NEW DELHI: A week after a mob set three buses on fire during violent protests near Jamia Millia Islamia , police have recovered CCTV footage where arsonists are seen stealing fuel from parked motorbikes and using it to set the buses aflame. Police are trying to identify the men from their clothes since their faces were covered with handkerchiefs.

The probe is now being handled by Crime Branch, which would scan through CCTV footage from the area to find out if the men had removed their masks at some point of time. Police suspect the men to be miscreants from the area who used the opportunity to flare up the situation.

In one video, one of the men is seen removing the fuel pipe of a bike parked outside a house on Mata Mandir Road and taking out petrol. In a second footage, the arsonists are seen taking out fuel from another bike and then setting it on fire. They then casually walk away. In a third footage, the same men are seen surrounding a cluster bus, throwing petrol on it and setting it ablaze. The CCTV clips were recovered from one of the houses along the street.
