Abdul Matin Taha and Musawir Hussain, prime suspects arrested in the case, reportedly targeted the bustling ITBT Hub, particularly the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) area, home to numerous tech giants where thousands of professionals are employed. Initial plans aimed at detonating explosives within the SEZ zone, recognizing the significant media coverage such an event would generate.

However, the suspects encountered formidable obstacles in executing their plan within the tightly secured ITBT area, including stringent security measures, extensive CCTV surveillance, and restricted access to company premises. Faced with these challenges, the perpetrators shifted their focus to Rameswaram Cafe, situated in the White Field area, where security was lax, and entry was unrestricted.

As the investigation progresses, authorities remain vigilant, recognizing the potential threat posed to high-profile areas like Silicon City’s IT sector. The interrogation of suspects continues, with the NIA working tirelessly to uncover further details surrounding the Rameswaram Cafe bomb blast and prevent future acts of terrorism.
