the police have CCTV Footage of the 30-year-old suspect till Uppal, from where the road becomes cold.
As the CCTV footage and other possible sources were still being verified by the Telangana Police, officials have not ruled out the possibility that the suspect may have reached Rajaram village in Janggaon by walking along the railway tracks.
The suspect was first spotted by railway employees and some locals on the side of the tracks on Thursday morning. He claimed that he jumped in front of the train around 8.30 am. Usually a person jumping in front of a train is a victim of amputation. But in this case the body was intact and only the face was shattered.
“We need to investigate how he landed on the railway tracks of Rajaram village. It is quite possible that he may have taken public transport and reached some place near the village before walking on the railway track. The other possibility is that he might have taken a passenger train,” a senior official associated with the investigation told TOI.
The chances of the suspect boarding the train were also slim as he was not seen at any important railway station in the state, which is under continuous CCTV surveillance since September 10. But the suspect was likely to climb from a small station. , officials said.
Police said they had searched every possible area in and around Hyderabad except the railway track as it was an extremely difficult exercise.
Apart from his presence on the tracks, the police are also trying to ascertain whether he is alive for the past several days since the search began.
