Hyderabad Under Seige

Barely three months after a blast at Hyderabad’s Mecca Masjid, the city was rocked by two, near-simultaneous bomb blasts at a crowded park and a popular eatery on Saturday evening.

Forty-four people are dead and over 100 injured when bombs ripped through the recreational centres in Lumbini Park and Hyderbad's famous Gokul Chat Bhandar in Kothi locality, which was teeming with weekend crowd.

Hundreds of people had gathered to see a laser show at the Lumbini Park, which is situated near the Andhra State Secretariat, in the heart of the city.

As the show was underway a bomb ripped through the middle row of the open-air auditorium at 1940 hours IST. The blast was so powerful that some of people were flung into the air.

Home Minister K Jana Reddy said about 500 people were seated in the auditorium at the time of the incident.
