On Sunday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had said that his government was contemplating to handover the case to the NIA if it was found necessary. BJP had been demanding the handing over of the blast case to the NIA and had slammed the government for treating the incident “casually”.
The BJP leaders have slammed the statements of DyCM D.K. Shivakumar and Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara on considering the angle of business rivalry regarding the incident.
The incident took place on March 1 and the police have gathered the CCTV footage of the bomber.
At least ten persons were injured in the incident, and one of them, a woman, is being treated in the ICU.
