Rameshwaram Cafe blast: NIA detains two suspects in Bengaluru

According to sources, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has detained two suspects in connection with the Rameshwaram Cafe blast case in Bengaluru on Tuesday.

The NIA sleuths have picked up the suspects from an area in Bengaluru.

Two suspects were in direct contact with the suspected bomber, the preliminary probe has revealed.

Though both NIA and state special wing CCB teams have launched an extensive search operation in various states, the bomber has remained elusive.

The authorities had obtained the bomber’s images and videos from CCTV footage on March 1, soon after the incident.

Sources said that the sleuths suspected that the bomber had come from Tamil Nadu and was staying in a neighbouring state for two months before carrying out the blast.

The hair samples of the accused were gathered from the hat of the accused which he abandoned in Bengaluru near a religious place. The authorities have sent the samples for DNA testing and were hoping for a breakthrough.
