Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria : “We have information that 80 people have died,”
State police chief AS Gill said, “Obviously, it’s a terrorist plot. The way it has been done, the attempt was to cause maximum damage.
No one has claimed responsibility yet, but it may be hadiwork of Bangladesh-based Harkat ul Jehadi Islamia or the Pakistan-based Lashkar-i-Tayyeba.
This was Rajasthan’s second brush with terrorism in recent years —
the last being a bomb blast at the Ajmer Sharif dargah of Moinuddin Chisti on October 11, 2007.
The Tuesday terrorist strike in Jaipur started at 7.25 pm.
There were seven explosions at six places —
Manak Chowk,
Sanganeri Gate Hanuman Mandir,
Johri Bazaar,
Tripoliya,
Chauti Chaupar (two explosions) and
Chandpole Hanuman Mandir.
Police said another bomb was defused at Chandpole Hanuman temple.
Hanuman temples were chosen obviously because Tuesdays are special for Hanuman worship, and the explosions would have the maximum impact. The bombs were carried on bicycles — or perhaps cars — to the destinations before being exploded by the terrorists.
Flowers strewn in blood at Chauti Chaupar and police helmets scattered on the Kotwali police station porch told a gruesome tale. Two bombs had exploded in quick succession at Manak Chowk and Chauti Chaupar.
Many of the flower vendors at Chauti Chaupar were injured, as bombs exploded behind the cement platform on which they displayed their flowers. Soon a bomb exploded in the premises of the Kotwali police station across the road.
statements of wyewitness :
“It was the sound of something heavy dropping with a thud. When we turned back we saw the injured in the parking lot outside the police station.”
“I saw several people running in panic. I was unable to run… I was saved by the grace of God,”
Police evacuated the entire walled city within an hour of the blasts. Security officials said the cellphone network was jammed to prevent the spread of rumours.
Minutes after the evacuation, riot control vehicles, columns of rapid action force and special task force were deployed at different crossings inside the walled city, turning it into a fortress.
