Blast speculation

Cylinder blast suspected, area cordoned off for investigation

Sources told India Today that a cylinder blast could be behind the loud sound as there are several shops near the school; however, this remains unconfirmed. "I was at home. I heard a loud sound, saw a cloud of smoke and recorded the video. I do not know anything more. A police team and an ambulance have reached the spot," an eyewitness said.
