The explosion at Rameshwaram Cafe has links to the 2022 Mangaluru cooker blast, said Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Saturday.

“According to our police officers, we’re seeing a link between this (Rameshwaram Cafe blast) and the Mangaluru case. The materials used such as the timer…there’s a link. That’s why Mangaluru and Shivamogga police officers have come here (Bengaluru)”, reports Deccan Herald quoting Shivakumar.

In November 2022, an improvised explosive device (IED) kept inside a pressure cooker accidentally went off when it was being taken in an auto rickshaw. Investigation revealed that the IED was meant to be planted at the Kadri Manjunatha temple.

He denied any intelligence failure in the Rameshwaram Cafe blast.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
