By A Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Jan 23 â In the run-up to the Republic Day celebrations, the banned ULFA continued to rock the State with a series of blasts at different places, including the State capital Guwahati. Fifteen people were injured, one critically, in a bomb explosion when a tea stall owner of Adabari, Suraj Zamal, threw an unclaimed bag, suspecting it to be an explosive, to a nearby drain. The bag actually had a bomb inside, which exploded immediately after it was thrown to the drain. The incident took place near a mosque in Adabari under Jalukbari police station around 6-30 pm. The injured have been admitted to hospitals including the Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH).
Almost the same time, a bomb was recovered from railway tracks at Noonmati around 6-45 pm.
Elsewhere, a woman was injured in another blast at Boragog village under Kamalpur police station in Kamrup (Rural) district this morning.
Our Baihata Chariali Correspondent adds: Tension prevails at Baihata Chariali area following a bomb blast at the residence of Abbas Ali, a resident of Boragog near Dorakahara, around 7-45 am today. Sajina Begum (1, daughter of Ali, was seriously injured in the blast and was admitted to the GMCH.
The incident occurred when Saidul Islam, son of Ali, tried to open a ball-like object inside the house, which he claimed to have picked up from railway tracks the previous night. Meanwhile, Islam has been arrested and his interrogation is on. The officer-in-charge of Kamalpur police station said Islam changed his version before police, and that police suspect him to be either a member or a linkman of extremist organizations. His confession is likely to throw much light in the recent blasts in the State.
Our Bongaigaon Correspondent adds: In Bongaigaon district, six persons were injured in an explosion at the Paglasthan market in Bongaigaon town around 6-10 this evening. The explosives were kept in a bag on a cycle in front of a shop. The injured have been identified as Suraj Singh (20), Soumen Roy (30), AK Deb (40), Sunil Jain (40), Mitan Sutradhar (30) and Rudra Das (30).
