Karnataka Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara on March 3 said business rivalry, impending elections and terrorising investors coming to Bengaluru in view of a stable government in the State are some of the angles which the police are working on to crack relating to the blast at a city eatery.
The explosion took place at Rameshwaram Cafe in Brookefield in East Bengaluru on March 1. A man wearing a cap, mask and glasses is the prime suspect in the case and is still untraceable, According to him, eight teams are working to crack the case and they are accompanied by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), National Security Group (NSG) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) are assisting the teams.
Mr. Parameshwara said one of the angles being probed was to see if it was to terrorise Bengaluru in view of the impending elections. “Elections are approaching. If any organisation is behind it, or if there are some other motives behind it to terrorise people to make Bengaluru look unsafe...,” the Minister added.
