New Delhi, March 6

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information on the suspected bomber in the Rameshwaram Cafe blast case in Bengaluru.

On its official X handle, the NIA posted a picture of the suspected bomber wearing a cap, mask and glasses while entering the cafe. The agency shared phone numbers and emails where people can send information about the unidentified person, who has emerged as a prime suspect.

The NIA assured that the identity of the informants will be kept confidential.

The probe into the blast at the cafe was handed over to the NIA earlier this week. At least 10 people were injured in the blast at Rameshwaram Cafe in Brookfield in East Bengaluru on March 1.

The explosion is suspected to have been carried out through an improvised explosive device (IED). Soon after the blast, the Karnataka Police registered a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Explosives Substances Act.

The NIA is a specialised probe agency to investigate terror related cases. The agency was created in 2008 following the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
