According to police sources involved in the anti-terror law investigation, the low-intensity bomb blast at the popular cafe in Bengaluru was executed by detonating the IED bomb using a timer.

“Deeply troubled to hear about the blast at Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru. Praying for a swift recovery of all the injured in the incident. State govt should order a detailed enquiry and spare no efforts in apprehending the perpetrators,” Vijayendra posted on social media platform X.
