The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has released new photos of the suspects in the Rameshwaram cafe blast in Bengaluru that left 10 people injured. The counter-terrorism agency took over the case on March 3 and sought public help in identifying the suspect, who is believed to have planted an improvised explosive device (IED) at a popular Bengaluru restaurant on March 1.
CCTV footage showed the main suspect boarding a bus about an hour after the cafe explosion. The timestamp in the video is 2:03 pm on March 1, and the explosion occurred at 12:56 pm. The suspect, wearing a T-shirt, hat and mask, was seen leaving the bag containing the IED at the cafe.
In another video from the same day around 9pm, the suspect can be seen hanging out near a bus stop. The NIA has urged citizens to report any information that may help identify and arrest the suspects and has offered a reward of Rs 10 lakh for valuable information.
