One Hurt In Four-Low Intensity Blast In Pune

A third explosion occurred near the Dena Bank in the same area, triggering panic among people during the evening peak hour.

A fourth explosion went off on a bicycle at Garware Chowk on the same road.

According to police officers at the blast site, two more bombs were timed to go off around the same time. However, they were detected by the dog squad. One of the bombs went off in a controlled environment while the other was defused on the spot.

The very fact that four explosions had occurred almost within a range of a kilometre in a short span, showed that there was some planning, the home secretary said.

"As of now, we are treating him (the injured person) as a suspect. He was carrying a packet. He is being interrogated," R.K. Singh told reporters.

Pune advocate Bipin Patole, an eye witness was in his office in the area when he heard one of the blasts.

"The sound was so loud that it seemed to be a huge blast. Though the intensity was low, the sound was very high," Patole told media persons.
