STC NEWS MONITORING DESK
SRINAGAR, NOVEMBER 16 (STC): Owing to the investigation launched into the Nowgam Police Station blast in Srinagar, the authorities have sealed the area surrounding Police Station as Forensic Science Laboratory ( FSL) teams and security forces are conducting on-site examinations to collect evidence, reveals a report quoting officials today.
As already reported, an accidental explosion inside the Nowgam Police Station on late Friday night left nine personnel dead and 32 others injured and caused extensive damage to the nearby building.
It’s worth mentioning that the Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP), Nalin Prabhat, has already ruled out any other speculation. He stressed that any speculation about the incident was unnecessary, as preliminary findings pointed to an inadvertent blast during a mandated forensic procedure.
Notably, former Chief Minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday called for a thorough and independent investigation into the blast, saying that “mistakes” in the initial handling of the explosive may have contributed to the tragedy that claimed nine lives and damaged multiple residential structures.
