An accidental explosion at the Nowgam police station in Srinagar, a city in Indian-administered Kashmir, killed eight people, including police and forensic officers, and injured 27 others, according to Indian news agency PTI.
The blast occurred when agents were taking samples from a large batch of explosives seized as part of an investigation into an underground terrorist group called the “white collar network”, organized in Faridabad. The alleged suicide bomber in the Red Fort attack on November 10, Umar Un Nabi Mohammed, an “unpredictable” thirty-six-year-old doctor of Kashmiri origin, was found to be a member of a terrorist group. The explosives were brought to Srinagar from Al Falah University in Faridabad, Haryana.
