Bengaluru: The Bengaluru Police have cracked the blast case reported in Pulakeshinagar within 72 hours, arresting three people in connection with the incident. Investigators suspect that personal enmity, a land dispute or financial dealings may have motivated the blast.
Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said 10 special teams, comprising more than 100 police personnel, were formed to investigate the case. The teams questioned over 100 people and gathered information that eventually led to the arrests.
The three accused include one person from Maski in Raichur district and two from Bengaluru. According to the Commissioner, both the accused and the intended target of the blast hail from the same district in Assam.
The investigation received assistance from police teams in Assam and Raichur, along with central government investigative agencies, Singh said.
Police investigations also revealed that a person with a background in electrical work had allegedly manufactured the explosive device. Investigators suspect that the blast was intended to target a specific individual due to personal animosity.
