Bengaluru, India – An explosion at a cafe in Bengaluru’s Kundalahalli has left four people injured, sparking an investigation by local authorities. The incident, which occurred at The Rameshwaram Cafe, a well-known eatery in the area, has prompted the deployment of a team from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to the scene.
According to police reports, three of the injured individuals are employees of the cafe, while the fourth victim is a customer. The cause of the explosion remains unknown, and authorities have not ruled out any possibilities as they work to determine the reason behind the blast. Both a bomb squad and a forensics team have been dispatched to the cafe to gather evidence.
