The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two significant suspects in the Rameswaram Cafe blast case, having traced their movements across multiple states. Abdul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa and Mussavir Hussain Shazib were apprehended in West Bengal and subsequently brought to Bengaluru late last evening.

According to sources, CCTV footage obtained by investigators revealed the accused checking into Dream Guest House located in the Ekbalpur area of Kolkata. They utilized false identities during their stay from March 25 to March 28 before proceeding to East Midnapore district. Sources familiar with the investigation have disclosed that the accused employed a strategy of frequently changing their addresses after departing from Karnataka to avoid detection by law enforcement agencies. They utilized multiple small hotels across different states before eventually being apprehended. Additionally, they predominantly paid in cash to prevent leaving a paper trail. Officials conducted searches at 18 locations spanning Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh in their efforts to locate the accused individuals. Their investigation ultimately led them to Kanthi, a small city situated approximately 180 km from Kolkata, where the suspects were traced and apprehended. Officials have confirmed that the accused individuals had been residing in a lodge located in Bengal.
