Bengaluru's Rameshwaram Cafe to Reopen with Enhanced Security After Blast

The cafe, targeted in a recent IED attack, is reopening with heightened security, as the NIA leads the ongoing investigation.

Bengaluru's Rameshwaram Cafe, targeted in a low-intensity IED blast injuring 10, is set to reopen with heightened security measures, including metal detectors and additional CCTV cameras.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the investigation, announcing a Rs 10 lakh reward for information on the suspect, who was captured on CCTV footage at the cafe.
The suspect, seen boarding a bus shortly after the blast, changed his appearance and traveled extensively across Karnataka.
A cloth merchant suspected of involvement, with ties to the banned Popular Front of India (PFI), has been detained in connection with the blast.
The cafe's reopening ceremony, symbolizing resilience, will feature the national anthem and is supported by local government and police guidance on security enhancements.
