Five injured in crude bomb attacks in Mathura

Mathura: Some unidentified persons exploded crude bombs in four different parts of Kosi Kalan town near Mathura, injuring five people and creating panic.

Large number of police personnel were deployed in the city.

"Some unsocial elements threw crude bombs in Bharat Milap Chowk, Sarrafa Bazar, Batasha Bazar and Baldevganj area in an attempt to create panic," said Senior Superintendent of Police R K S Rathore.

The injured are out of danger, he said.

Two companies of the Provincial Armed Constabulary or PAC have also been deployed and we will take strict action against those found disturbing peace, the SSP said.

In June last year, four persons were killed and 16 others injured after communal clashes broke out in Kosi Kalan, about 45 km from Mathura, reportedly after a pedestrian used water meant for some religious purpose.
