Blast investigators reached Bodhgaya late this evening after an NSG team and sleuths from the National Investigation Agency had to turn back mid-air earlier in the day and return to Delhi because of bad weather.
Sources said the teams left in the evening again on two flights and reached Patna, from where they proceeded by road towards the blast-hit pilgrim town, some 130km from the Bihar capital.
BSF sources said an Embraer flight carried some of the personnel. The others reached by a commercial flight. The airport in Bodhgaya does not have night landing facilities.
Earlier in the day, the teams had boarded an Avro HS-748, a BSF aircraft that can carry about 20 troops. But the old aircraft, unlike bigger planes, cannot fly at very high altitudes to circumvent weather fluctuations.
