The National Investigation Agency (NIA) teams have been rushed from New Delhi and Mumbai to Pune after five low-intensity blast shook the city this evening, injuring one person, Home Ministry officials said. The officials said the explosion prima facie did not seem to be a terrorist attack. A sixth bomb was defused by the Anti-Terror squad. The National Security Guards (NSG) have also been alerted following the blasts. The explosions took place on the city’s busy Junglee Maharaj Road. The blasts took place within a radius of one kilometre. Police cordoned off the areas where the blasts occurred. In February 2010, a bombing at a bakery in Pune frequented by tourists killed at least nine people and injured 57. The blasts came on a day when new Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde assumed office. Mr Shinde was supposed to visit a Pune theatre this evening but he cancelled his plans. UNI
