Bengaluru police arrest bakery worker in IED blast case linked to personal feud

The Bengaluru Police have made a breakthrough in investigating the blast that occurred at an under-construction building on Jeremiah Road in Pulakeshinagar, arresting a 27-year-old bakery salesman in connection with the incident. The explosion, which injured two people, has been traced to a conspiracy involving the suspect and two childhood friends, according to police.

Investigators determined that the accused had orchestrated a plan to murder his uncle by constructing an improvised explosive device (IED) and concealing it inside a parcel. The blast at the construction site was the result of this premeditated plot, with police suggesting personal rivalry as the underlying motive for the attempted murder.

The arrest marks a significant development in the case, with police now working to apprehend the two additional suspects identified as childhood associates of the arrested man. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the construction site blast and the roles played by each individual involved in the alleged conspiracy.

The incident has raised concerns about public safety in the area, with police intensifying security measures around construction sites in Bengaluru.
