In December 2022, the NIA <a href=\"https:\/\/nia.gov.in\/writereaddata\/Portal\/PressReleaseNew\/1369_1_Pr1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filed a chargesheet<\/a> against 11 accused in the Nizamabad PFI case.

The report mentioned the same details as report in The Hindu and has no mention of the individual being connected to the Rameshwaram Cafe blast case.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Bengaluru cafe blast case, we found a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CPBlr\/status\/1763855838773747770\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet<\/a> posted by the official X account of the police commissioner of Bengaluru on March 2 wherein it was mentioned that no arrests had yet been made in the case.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Investigation of the case has been handed over to City Crime Branch (CCB).
