Probe ordered in Pune blasts: Sushilkumar Shinde

Hours after four low intensity blasts rocked Pune, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said the government has ordered an inquiry into the incident.

“The bomb blasts incident is being probed. We are waiting for more information”, Shinde told reporters.

“NIA team has been dispatched up for Pune”, he said.

Shinde was supposed to travel to Pune to attend Lokmanya Tilak Puraskar Samaroh.

The Home Minister is yet to confirm that the blasts were terror related.

A series of bomb blasts rocked the city of Pune on Wednesday, bringing back the tragic memories of the fateful German Bakery blasts that had claimed 17 lives.

Five low intensity bomb blasts took place within a length of 500 metres of Janglee Maharaj Road. So far one person is said to be injured - the very person carrying the detonators.
