82 people have been killed in two nearly
simultaneous explosions in a crowded restaurant
in central India.
According to a report by AP, Police Inspector,
Mewa Lal Gond says a cooking gas cylinder
exploded in the restaurant on Saturday and
triggered a second blast of detonators stored
nearby.
The inspector further divulged that 82 bodies were
retrieved from the site of the explosion.
Police further disclosed that around 35 other
people were hospitalized with injuries.
Gond says the restaurant, located in Petlawad
town in Madhya Pradesh state, was full of people
having breakfast when the blasts occurred.
Before bodies of the victims were handed over to
their families, Arun Sharma, a state health official,
says doctors at a government hospital in the
nearby district town of Jhabua conducted
autopsies of 60 victims.
