We have information on the bomber’s identity and movements. We can’t disclose more information on this as the investigation is on. We have given full freedom to the police to investigate this case and perpetrators will be brought to book soon.”

Asked if any organisation was behind the blast, he said, “Looks like there are similarities between this and Mangaluru blast. Mangaluru and Shivamogga police are also joining the investigation. The people of Bengaluru need not worry.”

Asked if this was a failure of intelligence agencies, he said, “Not like that, such incidents have happened during BJP rule also.
