The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has announced a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh for information about the bomber in Bengaluru's Rameshwaram Cafe blast case.

In a statement, the anti-terror agency said the informant's identity would be kept confidential.

On March 1, a bomb blast rocked Bengaluru's popular Rameshawaram Cafe in the Whitefield area, injuring at least ten people.

The explosion was triggered by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), which was discovered in a bag left inside the cafe by a man.

CCTV videos from the area showed the suspect, wearing a mask and clad in a grey t-shirt and cap, entering the cafe.

The man ordered some food and spent around nine minutes inside the cafe before leaving the place.

He left behind a bag which had the IED that caused the blast.

According to Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, the bomber is aged around 28 to 30 years.
