At least eight personnel were seriously injured after an accidental blast took place on the premises of the Nowgam police station in Jammu and Kashmir on Friday night, according to a PTI report, citing officials.
The incident happened when police personnel were taking samples of explosive material seized from Faridabad in connection with a “white-collar” terror module case, officials added.
The explosives, totaling 360 kg, had been seized from a rented residence in Faridabad belonging to Dr. Muzzamil Ganaie, one of the eight individuals arrested in connection with the terror module case.
The consignment was brought to Jammu and Kashmir for examination by the police.
It remains unclear whether the entire 360 kg of explosive material was stored at the Nowgam police station, where the white-collar terror module case was registered on October 19.
