According to the reports, the bomber came from Tamil Nadu and planted the bomb before escaping. They stayed in Tamil Nadu for two months before the blast. The suspect left a hat near a religious place three kilometres away from the cafe with the number 10 on it, then changed clothes and left.

The bomb was likely made from locally available materials like potassium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide. Police are investigating possible links to ISIS due to similarities with other lone bomber cases. Over 20 threatening emails received in the past two years are also being looked into for connections to the bomber. If the suspect isn't found, authorities plan to release a diagram of the bomb.
There are suspicions that incidents over the past four years, including the Mangalore anti-national wall writing case, the Mangalore cooker blast, and others, may be connected. Authorities believe there could be a connection between the materials used in these incidents and fear that individuals who escaped capture in previous cases may have been involved in the cafe bombing.
