Emerging from a high-level security review meeting, a day after the low intensity blast in Bangalore left a woman dead, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said an idea about the nature of the blast and who could be behind it could be ascertained only after a proper probe.
One woman was killed and three persons were injured when a low-intensity bomb exploded outside a restaurant in Bangalore last night.
He said investigators were trying to piece together the leads and efforts were on to find out the people behind the blast.
"It is too early to say anything on it. Investigation is on," he said when asked who could be behind the explosion.
