The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted a spot inspection at the Rameshwaram Cafe on Monday in connection with its probe into Bengaluru's cafe blast case. The agency brought two main accused, Abdul Matheen and Musavir Husain, to the cafe in order to reconstruct the events leading up to the blast.

As a security measure, more than 50 police personnel were deployed around the cafe to maintain order and ensure the safety of the area during the NIA's inspection.

During its probe into the Bengaluru cafe blast, the anti-terror agency has carried out extensive searches at more than 29 locations across the country.

"A team of NIA probing the Rameshwaram Cafe blast came here this morning at the cafe for spot inspection along with two of the accused as part of their internal investigation into the case," an official stated.

The NIA took over the case on March 3 and arrested the two main accused, Adbul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa and Mussavir Hussain Shazib, on April 12. The accused were arrested from their hideout in Kolkata, where they were living under assumed identities.

So far, the agency has arrested five people in connection with its probe into the Rameshwaram Cafe blast.

A total of 10 people were wounded in the bomb blast at the cafe, located in the Brookfield area of Bengaluru.
