A photo of the Bengaluru bomb blast suspect was caught on CCTV camera where he could be seen wearing a grey shirt, white cap and a mask, carrying a plate of Idli inside the Rameshwaram Cafe, where the incident took place on Friday.
At least 10 people were hurt after a blast occurred inside the cafe located in Bengaluru’s posh Whitefield area on March 1 at around 12:55 pm.
