Defense News ,India :-  In a shocking incident today, a bomb blast at The Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru's Kundalahalli left nine people injured. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah confirmed the incident to reporters, revealing that the blast was captured on CCTV.

Initially, the police were in the process of determining the cause of the explosion at the popular restaurant.
