Panic gripped densely-populated Dimna Bustee after three youths were grievously injured in an explosion. The blast took place at a house at Dimna Bustee under Ulidih police station area in Mango on Saturday morning. Soon after the mishap the police was forced to focus on whether the explosion was triggered due to manufacturing of country-made bombs or due to an LPG cylinder blast.The three injured were identified as Nakul Patel, Bhubaneswar Kumar and Vishwanath Prasad were rushed to Tata Main Hospital, where they have been admitted for treatment.
According to information, the right hand of Bhubaneswar was severed due to the explosion, Vishwanath and Nakul have sustained grievous injuries in the face and in their eyes.
Significantly, while the police are yet to determine whether the explosion was caused either during manufacturing of country-made bombs or gas cylinder, the family members of Bhubaneswar Kumar claimed that the explosion took place while the trio were carrying out repair of an electronic gadget by soldering it.
“It is too early to comment what led to the blast. We suspect that the injured were involved in manufacturing of some explosive. However, a thorough investigation is so,” said a police official.
The incident took place at the residence-cum-shop of Bhubaneswar Kumar at Uppar Tola in Dimna Bustee at about 11.30 am. The official went on to inform that the explosion took place inside the closed shop, causing the locality to rock. The sound was so huge that the residents were gripped with fear.
