cafe in Bengaluru has hit the headlines for a rather unsavoury reason. Rameshwaram Cafe, one of the most celebrated eateries in Bengaluru, witnessed a devastating bomb blast on Friday. Although no casualties were reported, around 9 people were injured. Videos of the blast have gone viral on social media.
