Ludhiana:
A man was killed and five seriously injured in a blast inside a court complex in Ludhiana in Punjab this afternoon. Chief Minister Charanjit Channi said that the blast was carried out to disrupt law and order in the city ahead of assembly polls.
The blast reportedly took place at 12:22 pm inside a bathroom on the second floor of the court building. Severely damaging the walls of the bathroom, the explosion ripped through a whole section of the complex and shattered the windows in nearby rooms. The district court was not only crowded and but in session when the explosion took place.
Visuals showed injured people carried out of the building as police tried to seal off the complex. Two of the injured individuals are women and three are men.
