Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 1 (HBTV): After about 10 people were injured after an explosion took place at Bengaluru's popular Rameshwaram cafe on Friday, the Karnataka government has assured that the person responsible for the crime shall not be spared.      

The incident drew sharp criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has demanded the resignation of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, citing "no law and order in the state".  

However, the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government said the accused person involved in the incident will not be spared. The authority said a thorough investigation is underway. The chief minister also urged the opposition parties to avoid politicizing the matter. 

"The investigation into this case should be handed over to NIA. The CM should take responsibility and immediately resign," Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra said. 

The Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly, R Ashoka also slammed the Siddaramaiah government over the Rameshwaram cafe case and said the ruling Congress party needs to change its mindset and strictly take action against nefarious elements who are trying to destabilize the law and order situation in the state. 

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday said the Rameshwaram cafe blast is being investigated from all angles. 7-8 teams have been formed to investigate it, he added.   

Shivakumar stated that a youth came and kept a small bag, which exploded after about an hour.

"It was a low-intensity blast. A youth came and kept a small bag, which exploded after an hour. About 10 people received injuries. 7-8 teams formed to probe the incident. We are looking from all angles. I ask every Bangalorean not to worry," he said. 

A security guard working at the Rameshwaram Cafe who was present at the time of the incident said, "I was standing outside the cafe. Many customers had come to the hotel. Suddenly there was a loud sound and a fire broke out, causing injuries to the customers inside the hotel."    

The Rameshwaram Cafe is one of the popular hangouts and is usually extremely crowded during lunch hours.
