Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Saturday expressed confidence about nabbing the culprit involved in the blast at the city’s popular eatery The Rameshwaram Cafe, as his movement has been captured by the cameras. He said it is still not known whether any organisation was involved in the incident at the quick-service eatery in Brookfield area in the IT corridor in east Bengaluru that left 10 people injured, and the investigations are ongoing. Later in the day, he visited the cafe and inspected the spot. He met with the injured who are undergoing treatment at the hospital.
“The blast has happened. One person wearing a mask and cap has come by bus, he has purchased rava idli from the counter at the cafe and has sat at a place. Then he set the timer and left. The blast has occurred, about nine people (actually 10) are injured. All are out of danger,” Siddaramaiah told reporters in Mysuru. On Saturday he instructed senior police officers to leverage technology effectively in investigation and ensure that the “full truth” of the incident comes out.
