    Kerala Attacks: India Police Investigate Bomb Blasts At Prayer Meet

    admin@primenewsBy admin@primenewsOctober 30, 2023No Comments0 Views

    Police in India have opened a high-level investigation after a series of explosions killed three and injured over 50 people in the southern state of Kerala.

    The blasts took place during an event by Jehovah's Witnesses, a Christian-based religious movement, on Sunday.

    A man was detained after he posted a video claiming responsibility for the attacks and surrendered. Police said they were still trying to verify his confession.

    “He is in our custody but we have not recorded his arrest so far. We are still trying to ascertain the veracity of his statement, it will take some time,” Kerala police's Public Relations Officer Pramod Kumar told Reuters.

    The incident took place during a prayer session organised by Jehovah's Witnesses in Kalamassery town. Over 2,000 followers were attending the three-day event. Two people died on Sunday, while a 12-year-old girl with 95% burns succumbed to her injuries on Monday morning.

    Senior police official Shaik Darvesh Saheb said a preliminary investigation indicated that an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) placed inside a tiffin box might have caused the blasts. Shortly after the incident, a man named Dominic Martin claimed responsibility for the attack.

    The 48-year-old posted his confession in a Facebook video, which has since been deleted, and surrendered at a nearby police station.vMr Martin claimed he was a registered member of the religious group and was angry with its “anti-national” teachings.

    But TA Sreekumar, a regional spokesperson for the Jenovah's Witness, has denied this and told Reuters that he was unaware if Martin was even present at the event. On Monday, Kerala Health Minister Veena George told reporters that 17 people had been admitted to different hospitals of which 12 were under intensive care.

    “Four are critically ill, three of them are on ventilator. Those who are critically ill have burns above 50-60%,” she said. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the incident and announced that a 20-member team, led by the assistant director general of police, was investigating the incident.

    He also said that he would hold an an all-party meeting on Monday to discuss the next steps. Meanwhile, security has been tightened in India's capital Delhi and other cities like Mumbai in wake of the blasts.
