An accidental blast at a police station in Nowgam on the outskirts of Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar killed nine people and injured 32 others on Friday night.
The blast occurred when the police and forensic team officials were extracting samples from a large cache of explosives seized in connection with the ‘white-collar’ terror module case from Haryana’s Faridabad recently.
CCTV footage from a nearby house showed the impact of the explosion, which left a trail of destruction.
Another video showed fire crews battling flames as heavy smoke rose from the blast site. Massive debris was also seen on the ground, with multiple vehicles on fire. Body parts were reportedly thrown in neighbouring houses about 300 metres away.
Some residents more than 15 kilometres away also said they felt the explosion.
"Owing to the unstable and sensitive nature of the recovery, it was being handled with utmost caution. However, during the same, an accidental explosion took place at about 11:20 PM on Friday. Any other speculation into the cause of this incident is unnecessary," Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) Nalin Prabhat told reporters.
The Nowgam police station recently cracked the case of the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed’s posters in various locations of the area.
