Beed (Maharashtra): Not
ruling out a terror dry-run, National Investigation Agency (NIA)
and Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) teams have started probing into the
transistor explosion in Maharashtra's Beed district Friday.
The teams have collected samples from the blast site - the house
of bus conductor Om Nimbalkar - in Kej town and sent them for
forensic analysis, the report of which is expected in a couple of
days.
Nimbalkar, 35, his wife Usha, 25, their son Kunal, three, and
mother Kusum, 55, were injured after a transistor he had brought
home exploded.
Nimbalkar picked up an unattended transistor on a Maharashtra
State Road Transport Corporation bus which had left from Nehru
Nagar bus depot in Kurla in Mumbai early morning for a 475-km
journey to Ambejogai in Beed.
The conductor discovered the transistor in the bus after the
passengers had deboarded in Ambejogai.
But instead of handing it over to the authorites, he took it home.
When he opened it, it exploded.
The family was given treatment at a hospital in Beed before being
shifted to Sir J.J. Hospital in Mumbai Saturday for treatment of
serious injuries on faces, eyes and hands.
The chemicals and other ingredients that may have been used to
make the explosive or the triggering device are a subject matter
of the probe.
The blast came four months after four low-intensity blasts rocked
Pune Aug 1, injuring one person.
However, police have so far refrained from terming the Beed blast
as an act of terror.
