Bomb blast in Bodh Gaya - Terror strike in Mahabodhi Temples
Friends, again some misguided folks is creating trouble in India.
Quote:
Terror struck the temple town of Bodh Gaya in Bihar, as nine serial explosions rocked the Mahabodhi Temple complex on Sunday morning.
Two tourists, including a monk from Myanmar, have been injured in the blasts. The injured are being treated at the Anugrah Narain Magadh Medical College hospital.
Union home secretary Anil Goswami confirmed that the Bodh Gaya blasts were a terror attack.
According to Gaya Police, the blasts took place in quick succession between 5.30am and 6am in the temple complex and near the Mahabodhi tree. One blast was reported from a bus stand.
One of the blasts took place just under the enlightenment tree causing partial damage to the Buddha footprints in the shrine premises.
Four blasts took place inside the shrine premises, while another three blasts took place in the Tregar monastery premises. The Tregar monastery belongs to the Karmapa, the second most important spiritual leader.
One blast each took place at the great Buddha statue and a bus parked on the Sujata bypass.
Arvind Singh, a member of Mahabodhi Temple Management Commitee said two other bombs, one near the 80 feet statue and one at bus stand have been defused.
Zonal IG Sushil Khopade confirmed eight blasts.
It is seriously matter of shame how misguided people are creating such menace. No one has taken any responsibility but it could be anyone, a terrorist group or may be someone who is trying to create Communal and religious differences . I am sad to see how people want to manipulate sentiments using such inhuman tactics.
