What is considered a high point of the investigation, the NIA has taken into custody a prime suspect in the Bengaluru cafe Rameshwaram blast case.
ANI cited sources that the detainee was the alleged shooter, whose name was revealed as Shabbir, and he was arrested from Bagalkot, also known as Bellary district, in Karnataka. The NIA is now interrogating him to decide the gravity of his participation in a terror activity.
The March 1 explosion in the Buttery, a hotspot in Bangalore, had put 10 people under the medical check-up and treatment. The detonating command detonated an improvised explosive device (IED).
The NIA was given custody of the case to investigate thoroughly. The courter-surveillance video taken from the café showed a suspect who was present before the catastrophe but saw him fleeing and taking a bag with him.
Before, the state Home Minister G Parameshwara revealed that police had recognized the suspect and nearly apprehended him.
While holding onto the criminal, the Central Agency for Investigation offers a reward of Rs 10 lakh for any information that might lead to his or her arrest.
The office released the incident, which included a picture of the suspect caught on tape and asked the public for leads. People will definitely come forward earlier if they know they can get prompt assistance. Once the failure incident was publicized, the city administration toughened the already tight security measures in the city.
According to the police statement, evidence suggests that a device improvised by a terrorist was used (which was probably set up on a timer). In connection with all security agencies, such an arrest of the main witness may be a substantial breakthrough.
