One injured in parcel bomb explosion

NEW DELHI: A 45-year-old man was injured on Monday after a crude bomb in a gift box he received from an unidentified person exploded when he opened it at his residence in south-east Delhi.

The incident took place in the Shaheenbagh area of Jamia Nagar around 4 p.m. The victim has been identified as Mohammad Uzair, a manpower supplier and visa arranger for job aspirants.

A man came to Mr. Uzair's residence in the evening and handed over a gift packet, saying that a relative from Saudi Arabia had sent it to him, a senior police official said. Before Mr. Uzair could ask him about the gift or any other details, the man left the house.

“Soon after he handed over the packet, the unidentified man left the place without answering any of the queries raised by Uzair. The victim opened the box and suddenly it exploded, injuring his face and hands,” the police official said. — PTI
