At least three low-intensity explosions were heard in different parts of Pune city Wednesday evening, police said.
One person was injured as four apparently-coordinated low-intensity explosions rocked a single street in Pune Wednesday evening, police said.
One of the blasts took place at the Bal Gangadhar Chowk near the Rangsharda auditorium on the busy Junglee Maharaj Road and another in a dustbin outside a McDonalds outlet nearby around 7.30 p.m., police said.
A third explosion occurred near the Dena Bank in the same area, triggering panic among people during the evening peak hour.
A fourth explosion went off on a bicycle at Garware Chowk on the same road.
“The blasts appear to be well-coordinated,” a police officer said.
One of the blasts took place on the busy Junglee Maharaj Road and another near a movie theatre.
The explosives were planted in a garbage can outside a food plaza and on a bicycle. Police teams and explosives experts rushed to the spots.
