Nine people were injured in a low intensity bomb blast at The Rameshwaram Cafe, a popular restaurant in Brookefield in Bengaluru’s Information Technology corridor on Friday afternoon. All the injured are said to be out of danger.

Police said the blast had been caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), which seemed to have been left at the restaurant by a customer. The blast occurred during the busy lunch hour, shocking customers and others in the vicinity with a ear-shattering explosion, followed by smoke engulfing the area. The quick-service eatery had over 200 patrons when the blast occurred, sources said.
