The NIA, now probing the incident for any possible terror links, has begun gathering evidence to identify those involved. Early indications suggest that the suspects might hail from Uttar Pradesh and reportedly visit Bengaluru every six months, raising further concerns about the nature of their activities.
Officials have also started collecting information about the house owner, where the blast occurred, to determine any connections to the suspects. The presence of wires at the scene has led investigators to consider various possibilities, moving beyond the initial theory of a simple cooker explosion.
The investigation is ongoing, with the NIA working closely with local authorities to piece together the events leading up to the blast and to identify all parties involved. The incident has sparked concern among residents, as authorities continue to assess the potential threat posed by this explosion.
