The National Investigation Agency today announced a Rs 10 lakh cash reward for any information on the man who planted the low-intensity IED in the Rameshwaram cafe that caused a blast on March 1 injuring at least 10 people who were there in the cafe. The NIA said that the identity of the informant will remain confidential and issued a drawing of the accused in a wanted poster.
The NIA and the Central Crime Branch are both conducting a manhunt, but no arrests have been made in the blast investigation so far. The Karnataka government refused to turn over the inquiry to the central agency, therefore the Union home ministry instructed the NIA to start its investigation on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city police have discovered crucial clues and are getting closer to solving the case, according to Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Wednesday.
The cafe was closed after the explosion that shocked the city, and it will reopen on March 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During lunch hour on March 1, a blast occurred in the well-known cafe, injuring ten people, however, none of them are critical. The investigators put together CCTV footage and discovered that the bag containing the IED with a timer was left behind by a man who had visited the cafe an hour earlier and had only been there for a short while. The man order for a plate of rava idli but he did not have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A blurry image of the suspected accused went viral based on this clip. The individual in the widely shared photo is being targeted as a potential suspect, according to the NIA’s wanted notice, which is \u00a0released on Wednesday.
As per the image shared by NIA, the suspect is a tall, thin-built man who is speculated to be in his 30s or 40s. He was wearing a mask in the earlier CCTV images taken inside the cafe, but his face is more visible in the image that the NIA released on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
