The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has recently clarified the reports circulating regarding the Biryani blast incident at Bengaluru Rameshwaram Cafe. The clarification is that no arrests have been made in this connection to date. According to the NIA sources, the media should abstain from impulsive conclusions, and the NIA itself indicated that no fugitive was apprehended in relation to the incident.
This morning, the NIA had first arrested a person named Shabbir, who is a tenement fellow of Cowl Bazaar’s Circle in Ballary and detained him for interrogation related to the Rameshwaram Cafe bomb blast case.
Last week, during the same investigation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Central Crime Branch (CCB) jointly detained a cloth merchant at a shop called Handlooms at Kaul bazaar in Ballari town, and a worker associated with PFI, which is a banned terrorist organization. Suspected investigative agencies that a detainee, a PFIN member who is also an active member, is involved in planning the heinous crime.
The source says that
these arrested PFI cadre allegedly have lead connections with some terrorist organizations. It was claimed that the person of interest had affected a few individuals, including the one responsible for the placing of the explosive weapon at the Base.
The NIA website put fresh photographs of a key suspect in the blast case to invite the general public to support identifying the person. The confirmation of the suspect, in the picture we have attached, appears to be wearing a pink t-shirt and blue jeans, which we then concluded she traveled on the bus without the cap and mask on. In the meantime, a baseball cap of the suspect that was believed to be hers, belonging to a big investigative agency, was discovered near a mosque by the center investigative agency.
Rameswaram Cafe began operating again on Friday, with a slight delay of eight days, after the incident that injured ten people. Raghavendra Rao, the owner, had already ensured that potent security rules would be enforced long before customers were allowed into the cafe during the reopening.
The NIA has offered a reward of Rs 10 lakh for information leading to the identification of the suspect captured in the CCTV footage, who placed a bag containing explosives with a timed detonator in the cafe on March 1.
