Pune: Three people, including a police constable and a woman, were injured when an explosive device fixed to a motorcycle at a parking lot here blew up yesterday afternoon, officials said.
Witnesses said a loud explosion rocked the area followed by some smoke from opposite the Farazkhana police station in the busy Budhwarpeth area.
A preliminary probe showed that the explosive was placed in the luggage carrier of a stolen motorbike.
The motorbike, said to be owned by a policeman from Satara, was reported stolen from Pimprigaon a few days ago and taken to Pune, the police probe revealed.
Iron nails and ball bearings were later recovered from the blast site and sent for forensic analysis to determine the type of explosive used.
Police Commissioner Satish Mathur only said investigations would reveal more details. IANS
