Two Suspects In Rameshwaram Cafe Blast Case Nabbed By NIA In Bengaluru

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted simultaneous raids in multiple locations, including Bengaluru and Shivamogga, on Wednesday.

The initial investigation has indicated that the two suspects were in direct communication with the alleged bomber.

The NIA has detained the suspects in Bengaluru, but an official statement from the NIA regarding their detention is pending.

Despite extensive search operations conducted by the NIA and the state special wing CCB teams across various states, the bomber has managed to evade capture. Authorities obtained images and videos of the bomber from CCTV footage on March 1, immediately after the incident.

Hair samples of the suspect were collected from a hat he abandoned near a religious place in Bengaluru. These samples have been sent for DNA testing in hopes of making a breakthrough.

The blast at Rameshwaram Cafe occurred on March 1 on the International Technology Park Limited (ITPL) road in the Brookfield area. A low-intensity Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was used in the blast, injuring nine people.
