The famous biryani restaurant Meghana Foods’ locations in Bengaluru, Karnataka, were searched by the Income Tax (IT) department on Tuesday morning. The reason the restaurant is being sued is currently unknown.

According to reports, I-T officials remained silent about the matter. Additionally, the restaurant’s owners were not immediately accessible for comment.

The restaurant, which specialises in Andhra-style food and is famous for its mouthwatering biryani, opened in 2006 in Bengaluru’s Koramangala area. Owned by a corporate company based in Hyderabad, it currently has nine branches throughout the tech hub, including locations in upscale areas like Indira Nagar and Koramangala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant posted a statement on its website that read, Meghana is proud to be a favorite among all kinds of masses which range from corporate people and college going students in the afternoons to families and singletons at dinner time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, 10 people were injured in an explosion at Bengaluru\u2019s Rameshwaram Cafe earlier this month. After investigation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has detained a man, wanted in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police sources, a man named Shabir is thought to be a prime suspect in this case. He was seen on security camera footage leaving a bag at the cafe just before the blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since taking over the case on March 3, the anti-terror agency has asked for help from the public in identifying the key suspect, who is thought to have planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the famous Bengaluru caf\u00e9 on March 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same day, at approximately 9o’clock in the evening, in an another video the alleged suspect was seen walking around a bus station. It was almost an hour after the explosion at the cafe that he was last spotted boarding a bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation team claims that after the incident, the suspect changed his dress and took a bus to several destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rameshwaram Cafe reopened with tighter security last week. To protect both customers and employees, metal detectors have been placed at the entry, and now it is ensured that the customers must pass through screening utilizing handheld detectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
