The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday detained a man from Ballari who is alleged to have interacted with the main suspect involved in the blast at The Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru on the night of March 1, around eight hours after the explosion, as the main suspect escaped from the Karnataka capital.
Identified as Syed Shabbir, police sources said his association with the main suspect in the cafe blast case is yet to be ascertained and that he was detained based on technical analysis. They added Shabbir is a resident of BUDA Bazaar in Ballari.
Despite the probe by the NIA and the Bengaluru police narrowing the identity of a suspect involved in The Rameshwaram Cafe blast down to an individual from the Shivamogga module of an Islamic State group, the efforts to nab the suspect and possible collaborators had remained a challenge on account of the group being adept in the usage of terror tradecraft.
