Two boys in Odisha's Ganjam district were injured on Tuesday when they mistook for a bomb and it exploded in one of the teen's hands.
The boys were playing near their houses when they saw the ball-like object. Unaware that it was an explosive, they began tossing it to each other. Suddenly, it explosed when it was in the hands of 14-year-old Om Prakash Bhuyan. While he was seriously injured, eight-year-old Ganesh Bhuyan, who was playing with him, sustained minor injuries.
