It seems like terror activities have once again started since the Congress has come into power in the southern state of Karnataka, as BJP leader has ruled out the Cylender blast angle in Rameshwaram Cafe blast and has called it a 'clear case of bomb blast'.
It should be noted that this just comes a day after 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogans were raised outside the Karnataka assembly to celebrate the win of a party candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections.
At least four people were injured after an explosion at Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru's Whitefield. The injured included three staff and one customer. According to initial reports, an object placed in a bag exploded at aroud 1 pm. The police said they are trying to find out what exactly caused the explosion at the cafe.
As of now, four people have been injured, three women and one man. The blast is said to have taken place around 12:56 PM. The area near the cafe and HAL has been cordoned off by cops to assess the situation.
BJP's Tejasvi Surya calls it a 'clear case of bomb blast' ''He informed me that the blast occurred because of a bag that was left by a customer and not any cylinder explosion. One of their employees is injured...'' tweets.
Visuals of the blast were circulating on social media, showing huge crowds which had gathered in the area. A video shared by ANI showed a fire engine had arrived at the spot.
Divya Raghavendra, the founder and managing director of the cafe, told private media house that two blasts occurred in the handwash area and there were no LPG cylinders there. “I was informed that some unknown person kept a bag there and went,” Raghavendra told media house. “We are cooperating with the police in the probe.”
"We received a call that a cylinder blast occurred in the Rameshawaram cafe. We reached the spot and we are analysing the situation," says a fire station official, Whitefield.
Forensic experts also arrived at the cafe and are reportedly assessing the exact cause for the blast. Further probe is underway and more details are awaited.
