Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is holding an emergency security review meeting with senior police and intelligence officials a day after a bomb explosion killed a woman and injured three others.
Before going in for the meeting, he confirmed that Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has offered central help for the investigation.
Earlier on Sunday, a woman was killed and three others were injured in an explosion triggered by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in front of a famed restaurant.
The blast, which is being said to be a terror attack, occurred around 8.30 p.m. near the Coconut Grove restaurant in Bangalore's Church Street.
A compensation of five lakh rupees was announced by the Siddaramaiah, to the kin of the woman who was killed in the blast.
Meanwhile, security has been beefed up in New Delhi following the incident.
