Nine people were injured in a bomb explosion at the well-known restaurant The Rameswaram Cafe in Bengaluru on Friday. Police have opened an investigation from all directions after it became clear that the explosion was not caused by a previously suspected gas leak.

The investigators put together CCTV footage and discovered that the bag containing the IED with a timer was left behind by a man who had visited the cafe an hour earlier and had only been there for a short while.

A blurry image of the suspected culprit went viral based on this clip. The individual in the widely shared picture is being targeted as a suspect, according to the NIA's "wanted" notice released on Wednesday.
