Ghaziabad: Police
Tuesday said they were probing an explosion at a mosque in Ghaziabad district and a forensic team was checking the site.
The blast in the mosque in Dasna town occurred at about 10 p.m.
Monday and damaged the main entrance gate and the plastering but
no one was injured. Immediately after the explosion, senior police
and civil officers including the district police chief and the
district magistrate visited the spot.
"We have not found any substance. Neither pellets, nor any other
article was found on the explosion site. The forensic team is
studying the case," said Deputy Inspector General (Meerut Range)
Zaki Ahmad.
"It seems some miscreants might be planning to disturb the peace
through such acts because the motive does not seems to damage the
building or execute a massacre because the time when the explosion
took place was not suit for such designs. Normally people gather
at prayer time but the explosion took place when there was no
prayer time."
"But it is still a mystery. The forensic team is on the job and
until their report is ready, nothing can be said conclusively,"
said Ahmad.
According to a source, an accidental explosion might have taken
place due to the garbage dumped near the mosque containing carbide
used to ripen fruits.
"A marriage procession passed near that time and the fire-crackers
set of then might have ignited a fire in the dump which could have
triggered an explosion. A reconstruction is being exercised to
ascertain the truth before revealing officially," said the source.
