Preliminary investigations revealed that detonators kept inside the car bearing registration number KA 41 M 2603 caused blast resulting in minor damages to the vehicle.

The minor blast took place soon after Maxwell Monteiro and his wife alighted from the car after parking it on the road side.

The couple claimed that they heard a loud noise from the front seat when Monteiro pressed the central locking button on the car key.

On hearing the news, the police and bomb disposal squad rushed to the spot and reportedly found detonators inside the car.

It is not yet known whether the owners themselves had kept the detonators inside the car or someone else had kept it to cause harm to the couple.

Amidst heightened border tensions between Indian and China, senior BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's two year old tweet comparing his party with Communist Party of China started going viral. 

The tweet, dated 26 June, 2016 reads: "Communist Party of China & BJP have done numerous works in social field. This way, there is tremendous similarities between the two parties." (sic)

Twitterati dug up this tweet after over 20 Indian Army personnel, including a colonel, were killed in a clash with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh earlier this week.

Soon after Chouhan's tweet went viral, netizens took to the micro-blogging site and slammed BJP. One user said, "Interesting comment by Hindutva ITSELF to recognise how similar they are with China. No doubt. Both believe in Dragon Throne .... and brutal absolute control." Another user said, "No wonder the BJP & China both agree that PLA never crossed into Indian territory."
