Mysterious blast created panic among vendors in Batamaloo area of Srinagar city on Monday afternoon. Though witnesses said that some unidentified persons lobbed a ‘grenade’ towards vendors that exploded with a bang, but no loss of life or property was reported.
Station House Officer Batamaloo told that some “miscreants” in a bid to scare the vendors set a cracker that created scary sound. “It was not a grenade blast. Roadside vendors have resumed their normal business and to frighten them, miscreants set a cracker in air that scared the people,” he said.
