Cops among injured

A bomb explosion of low intensity near the headquarters of the Bharatiya Janata Party at Malleswaram on April 17, 2013 had injured 17 people, including 12 police personnel. The police personnel were in a Karnataka State Reserve Police van stationed on 24-hour election duty.

Two cars and two two-wheelers were gutted, while the police van was damaged in the explosion that shook the densely populated semi-residential area. The 10.20 a.m. blast coincided with the last day of the filing of nominations for the May 5 Assembly polls. The busy street on Malleswaram, which was in the thick of electoral activity, was covered with shattered glass, mostly from broken vehicle window panes.
