Karnataka CM, other Cabinet ministers get death threat days after Bengaluru blast
The police have registered a case in this regard and an investigation is underway.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday arrested a key suspect wanted in connection with the blast at Bengaluru’s Rameshwaram Cafe early this month.
According to sources, the man arrested by the anti-terror agency is an accomplice of the man who was caught in CCTV leaving an explosive-laden bag at the restaurant.
Earlier this month, the NIA had released two videos of the alleged accused and sought public’s help in identifying the suspect.

The 49-second first video shows the suspected bomber walking inside the BMTC bus and sitting on a seat. He gets up from the middle seat and moves towards the backside of the bus to avoid the CCTV camera. He is then seen sleeping in the backseat and later gets down from the bus.
The second video of nine seconds shows the movement of the suspected bomber without his hat at a bus stop. The video also shows how he strolls at the bus stop in front of the closed police outpost.
At least nine people were injured in the low-intensity IED blast at Rameshwaram Cafe on March 1. The case is being probed jointly by the NIA and the Central Crime Branch of the Bengaluru Police.
