NIA Reconstructs Bengaluru Cafe Blast As Suspects Visit Crime Scene

On Monday morning, the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) conducted a significant investigation into the Bengaluru cafe blast case by bringing the accused suspects to the scene of the crime. The operation took place at 5:30 a.m. at the Rameshwaram Cafe, located on International Tech Park Bengaluru (ITPB) Road, within the tech hub of Whitefield.

Authorities, including over 50 policemen, secured the area with extensive cordoning and barricades to prevent public access. This heightened security was part of a meticulous spot investigation, aimed at reconstructing the scene and documenting the crime’s context. The exercise is crucial under sections 7 and 9 of the Indian Evidence Act, providing a detailed account of the crime scene for court proceedings.

The NIA brought in two key suspects, Mussavir Hussain Shazib and Abdul Matheen Taha, five months after the explosion. Both men were arrested in Kolkata on April 12, and subsequent investigations revealed their intent to target IT parks in the Whitefield corridor. Their goal was to damage Bengaluru’s reputation as India’s IT capital and attract global attention.

The Rameshwaram Cafe, situated in Whitefield’s tech corridor, became the focus of the suspects’ plan after their initial attempts to infiltrate IT parks failed. The name “Rameshwaram” and the cafe’s popularity among tech professionals reportedly influenced their decision to target it. However, the blast, which occurred on April 1, resulted in injuries to several staff members and significant property damage.

Sources indicate that the suspects had also explored other high-profile targets, including Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in major cities, to instill fear among tech professionals and tarnish India’s global image. The NIA’s ongoing investigation aims to further clarify the motives and connections behind this attack.
