The victim of the Rameshwaram bombing describes the horror: “I heard sound and lost consciousness.”

One of the wounded victims described the terror that struck the well-known Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru a day after the huge explosion that occurred there. The victim, who was released from the hospital on Saturday, said he was unsure of what was going on at the time of the explosion.

“I’m not sure what happened when I entered…After hearing the noise, I passed out and also lost my sense of hearing. The victim told news agency ANI, “I feel fortunate not to have suffered any bodily damage; I simply lost my minor hearing capabilities, which will be restored in a week or two.

“The staff at Rameshwaram Cafe was helpful; they assisted me in getting to the hospital,” he said. I’m doing well following the therapy.
