Officials from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) are actively probing the recent blast at Rameshwaram Cafe.
On March 1, a bomb blast happened In Rameshwaram Cafe located in Brookfield in Bengaluru, which caused severe injuries to nine people.

The investigation has revealed that the individual responsible for the bomb blast embarked on a journey from Rameshwaram to Ballari and further to Pune City.

While the exact mode of transportation to Pune City remains unclear, surveillance footage indicates that the suspect boarded a bus from Gokarna on the night of March 1.

In Ballari, CCTV footage from the new bus stand shows the suspect going from one bus to another, likely going to Gokarna. However, his exact location upon leaving the bus remains unknown. According to the bus conductor, the suspect travelled to Hospet and Hubballi en route to Gokarna.

Following this, the NIA announced a Rs 10 Lakh award to the person giving any lead about the suspect.
Despite initial suspicions that the suspect may have reached Gokarna or Bhatkal, the authorities are yet to procure any CCTVZ footage confirming his arrival. The focus of the investigation shifted to Pune, where credible sightings of the suspect have been reported.

NIA officials have restrained from releasing any new images of the suspect. Meanwhile, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) conducted enquiries in Tamakuru, Nelamangala and Hoskote to gather potential leads on the suspect and his associates. NIA has currently requested CCB to halt their parallel investigation.

Despite the efforts to track the suspect’s movements through mobile phone records, authorities have not obtained any significant leads from a tower servicing Kundalahalli on ITPL Main Road. While numerous individuals have been questioned, the investigation has yet to yield any substantial breakthroughs, leaving authorities continuing their efforts to find the suspect behind Rameshwaram Cafe Blast.
