Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday sought for a report on the recent Pune blast case and added that the matter is being probed by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
"I have asked for the report on the Pune blast. The ATS (Anti-Terrorism Squad) is investigating the whole case," Singh said.
A low-intensity blast triggered by an IED planted in a bike parked in front of a police station in the heart of the city on Thursday reportedly left four persons injured, one of them a Constable. The authorities did not rule out the possibility of involvement of a terror group in the incident.
Though the injuries caused were minor and the blast damaged only two 2-wheelers in the parking lot of Faraskhana police station, it created panic in the area and brought back memories of an earlier bomb explosions in the city for which the home-grown terror outfit Indian Mujahideen was blamed.
