Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah confirmed on Friday that a low-intensity improvised explosive device caused the bomb blast at the Rameshwaram Cafe. Hours after the explosion at the well-known cafe in the centre of Bengaluru rocked India’s IT hub, the confirmation came. Siddaramaiah verified the fact that a customer’s bag contained the gadget.
Siddaramaiah said, “We are examining the CCTV footage. It was an explosive blast. We don’t know who has done it. The police are at the spot. I have asked the home minister to review the situation.”
According to the chief minister, the blast was an improvised one rather than a high explosive. Following the blast, Siddaramaiah initially stated that politics shouldn’t be involved because the last explosion in Karnataka occurred in Mangaluru when the BJP administration was in power.
