Lahore: The police have barred hospitals in Lahore from discharging those injured in a car bomb blast on Wednesday that killed an estimated 40 people and wounded over 100.
The wounded people would be released after investigations, police sources told Geo TV.
The car, which was packed with about 100 kg of explosives, went off just outside the three-storeyed Rescue-15 Building that collapsed with the impact of the blast.
The building that housed emergency police is located close to the provincial headquarters of Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence.
