An explosion rocked a private hospital in Agra on Saturday (17-Sep-2011), leaving six persons injured. The blast took place in the reception of Jai Hospital where explosives were kept under a chair, said Inspector General of Police, Agra Range, PK Tiwari.
Police called it a crude explosive, but it was still too early to determine a motive or whether it was the handiwork of terrorists.
The Home Ministry said it had dispatched commandos to Agra and was in the process of collecting evidence from the scene.
"It was an explosion with a bang when I was getting down the stairs and when I turned back, there was panic all around," said an eye witness.
An team from the anti-terror squad has been sent to the hospital, Additional Director General of Police (Law & Order) Brij Lal told PTI.
The motive behind the blast is yet to be discovered, said Agra zone deputy inspector general of police Asim Arun. The police and administration is looking after the victims and all possible help is being extended, he added.
