Tension grips after blast rocks house in Murdeshwar

October 22, 2011

Murdeshwar, October 22: A tense atmosphere prevailed after a powerful blast rocked a house in Murdeshwar two days ago. Though the house owner has claimed that it was a cylinder explosion, local people have expressed suspicion about it.

Two people sustained critically injuries in the incident which took place around 11 am on Friday. The blast was so powerful that, the roof of the house was blown-off and several nearby houses were also damaged.

The injured have been identified as Jyothi (45) and Umesh Gudigar (50). They were taken to RNS Hospital and later shifted to Manipal.

According to the house owner Raghavendra Gudigar the blast occurred due to cylinder burst.

As the news of explosion spread, police officials and Tahsildar rushed to the blast site and inspected the area. When Tahsildar asked the owner about the cylinder which caused the blast, the owner showed him a cylinder kept outside the house which was in a very good condition. Eye witnesses said that it was apparent that the blast was not caused by that cylinder.

Local people are of the opinion that the house owner is trying to hide something. They alleged that the blast may be the result of crude bomb because the intensity of the blast was so strong that the roof of the house was completely blown-off and several nearby houses were also damaged but the top cover of the cylinder which was tied with a thin thread was intact. And by looking at the gas stove it seems that, it was deliberately burnt outside the house by putting kerosene on it. A match box was also found near the stove.

Many people raised doubt that it may be the handiwork of miscreants who wanted to create terror during upcoming Bakrid festival.

It may be recalled that, on September 5, 2010, two persons were killed died when they were manufacturing a crude bomb in Belke village of Bhatkal allegedly to scare pigs, which were damaging their crops. And on October 10 2009, one person was arrested for illegally possessing explosives worth Rs 1.31 lakh from a house in Bangarmakki.

If Mr. Yediyurappa gives permission as reqested by Ibrahim, it will be adisastor for Muslims community, Saudi Arabia imposed , full curfew from 23rd to 30th May, 2020, this is to avoid Eid gathering and spread of Corona Virus, our community should boycott such so called self declared leader.

Any new cases of Covid-19 cases will be blamed as Eid Jihad, request all our like minded people to protest this request.

CM Ibrahim is just trying to attract media and public atttention. he is a useless politician.

Who is he? What is he? And what did he do to Muslim community and who gave him the authorization to talk to the minister of behalf of Muslim Community

It will be disastrous for PR, and Joy ride for Atunab & sudir...

This Chadi people will be very happy and start calling this Eid Jeehad...
