Kannur, Mar 24: A country-made bomb, which was hidden inside the compound of a house of a local RSS functionary, exploded prematurely at Naduvil under the Kudiyanmala police station limits in Kannur district of Kerala yesterday injuring at least two children.
The injured have been identified as Gokul, 7, son of RSS functionary M. Shibu, and his relative Kajinraj, 12, son of Kumar. They had come to their relative Shibu’s house where the incident occurred around 1.30 p.m.
