| 2 dead, 8 injured in low intensity blast in Gujarat | | | AGENCY
GUJRAT, Sept 29: At least two persons were dead and 8 others injured when a low intensity blast occurred in Sabarkantha in Gujarat, late Monday night. Besides the reports coming in from Malegaon in Maharastra also stated that one person is dead and seven injured in yet another blast that occurred in the vicinity of a mosque.
The blast took place in sukabazar area of Modasa town. Sabarkantha is a Muslim dominated area and the blast is reported to have taken place at a time when a large crowd had congregated in the market for Eid shopping.
The deceased are reported to be two teenaged boys named Zainuddin Ghauri and Nizamuddin Ghauri.
The bomb is believed to have been implanted on a motorbike. The police have condoned off the area and the injured have been rushed to nearby hospitals. The people have been asked not to panic and remain indoors.
The Gujarat police is taking the incident very seriously as earlier in the day 17 crude bombs were recovered from a rubbish bin in Ahmedabad. According to reports, all the bombs have been defused by the bomb disposal squad.
The recovery of bombs near Kalupur Darwaza a day before the beginning of the state’s famous nine-day long Navaratri festival has sent terror waves across Gujarat. It has further increased the tensions of police, who will now have to ensure the fixation of metal detectors on the entry gates of all Navaratri functions.
A probe into who placed the bombs into the dustbin is on. No further detail on the incident is available yet.
As many as 22 co-ordinated serial blasts ripped across Ahmedabad city on July 26 killing at least 56 people and injuring more than 100. A day later, nearly two dozen live bombs were found in Surat. |
