Two construction workers are injured in an explosion at an under-construction residential building in Bengaluru. The incident occurs in the Pulakeshinagar area, near Jermiah (Jarmia) Road, and leaves at least two people hurt, including a worker; one account also describes a security guard among the injured. Police say the case is under investigation and forensic teams are sent to the site to examine suspicious materials and determine the cause.
Preliminary details across outlets describe the blast happening inside the structure during ongoing interior work. One report says police suspect an IED and another frames it as a suspected battery explosion after a person presses a button on a battery torch, but does not confirm the cause. Authorities check witness statements, review technical evidence gathered by specialised units, and coordinate with additional security agencies. Medical updates indicate both that victims receive treatment at Bowring Hospital and that inquiry continues.
Overall, coverage is broadly consistent that the explosion happened at an under-construction building in Pulakeshinagar and that investigators, including forensic and bomb-related teams, inspect the site while police work to establish what triggered the blast and how materials were involved.
