Jamshedpur: Three youths, including two minors, were injured in a mysterious blast at Dimna Basti in Ulidih police station area of Mango on Saturday. While all three sustained serious injuries, one among the group lost an arm in the blast. The trio was admitted to Tata Main Hospital.
The three were identified as Bhubaneswar Kumar (21), Nakul Patel (15) and Viswanath Kumar (14). Not ruling out the possibility of a bomb explosion, police said all angles are being investigated.
“The bomb disposal squad will investigate the spot to confirm whether it was a bomb explosion,” said deputy police superintendent of Patamda Vijay Mahato.
A controversy centred around the burial of a tribal man at Ulidih in Mango led to a stand-off in Jamshedpur on Tuesday, prompting police to step in and negotiate a truce, which finally happened after over seven hours of arguments amid frayed tempers.
The body was finally cremated at Subernarekha burning ghat at 6.30 pm after the tribals were persuaded by the police and administration. Officers who had gathered there by noon, an hour after the tribals had arrived there with the body, saw merit in the argument of local residents who insisted that the land where the tribals wanted to bury the body belonged to the government and was not a cemetery.
