Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Thursday said sleuths investigating the March 1 blast at the city’s popular eatery have “identified” the suspect, and efforts are on to nab him.
He said the investigators were verifying the suspect’s identity and were “getting closer to him.” The investigation into the blast, caused by an IED, at the quick-service eatery in the Brookefield area in information technology corridor in east Bengaluru that left 10 persons injured, is being carried out by the National Investigation Agency, which is being assisted by the Central Crime Branch.
