Two Workers Injured in Explosion at Bengaluru Under-Construction Building, Investigation Underway
An explosion injured two workers at an under-construction building on Jeremiah Road in Bengaluru's Pulikeshinagar area. The workers reportedly found a bag on the road and opened it on the building's fourth floor, triggering the blast. Authorities, including the Anti-Terrorism Squad and bomb squad, are investigating whether the cause was an improvised explosive device (IED), a battery, or a chemical reaction. Samples have been sent for forensic analysis, and Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge urged the public to await official findings before speculation.
