lege Hospital. We can’t comment on any militant outfit’s involvement before we investigate the matter,” said G P Nath, IGP (central western range).
The injured persons—identified as autorickshaw driver Deben Das and one Manturaj Nath—are reportedly stable and out of danger.
Eyewitnesses said that the grenade was lobbed from a four-wheeler coming from Zoo road and traveling towards Ganeshguri. When asked about the city police’s failure in checking militant activities, SP Apurba Jiban Barua said: “We have to probe the matter and investigation is on to find out the truth.” Forensic officials have also collected samples from the blast site.
Guwahati: Two people were injured in a grenade blast in the city on Tuesday. The grenade, lobbed by unidentified miscreants near a Punjab National Bank branch, exploded around 6pm. The busy Nursery area was almost deserted at the time of the blast due to the 24-hour nation wide bandh. Locals said the number of injured would have been much higher if it was a normal working day.
Police are yet to confirm about any militant outfit’s involvement in the blast. But, intelligence sources suspect Ulfa hardliners. No outfit has claimed any responsibility.
