A special National Investigation Agency court in Bengaluru on Saturday granted the national agency 10 days custody of two accused in the Rameshwaram Cafe blast case for further investigation.
Mussavir Hussain Shazib and Adbul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa were produced before a National Investigation Agency special court judge on Saturday.
The accused were brought to the Karnataka capital from Kolkata on transit remand, for their alleged role in March 1 blast at Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru, which left 10 people injured.
Both would be taken for a routine medical test, after which they will be produced before the NIA court in Bengaluru.
A court in Kolkata had on Friday granted a 3-day transit remand to the two accused in the blast case, allowing the NIA to take them to the Karnataka capital.
The NIA had arrested Mussavir Hussain Shazib and Adbul Matheen Ahmed Taahaa from Kolkata for their alleged role in March 1 blast at Rameshwaram café in Bengaluru, which left 10 people injured.
According to NIA, Shazib placed the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) at the café and Taahaa was the mastermind, the officials said.
Last month, the NIA announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh each for those providing information leading to the arrest of these two accused.
An IED explosion rocked the café located on ITPL Road, Brookefield, Bengaluru, on March 1.
The NIA took over the probe on March 3.
