According to him, a team of anti-bomb squad arrived the scene and detonated another explosive.

“Among the three injured persons, the P.OS operator is unconscious and receiving treatment at 44 Hospital, while the remaining two-person sustained mild injuries,” he said.

The state government and State Police are yet to comment on the incident. The Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Jalige Mohammed, did not answer calls.
