4 charred to death in gelatin blast
Four labourers were charred to death in a blast in a gelatin sticks manufacturing shed located in an open field near Devanahalli.
Police said they could not establish the identity of two victims as their bodies were blown to pieces. The other two were identified as Kubendran and Chandran of Gudiyattam in Tamil Nadu.
The illegal unit was housed in a shed belonging to Dodda Venkataramanappa, a farmer-cum-quarry owner.
Dodda Venkataramanappa had stored a large quantity of gun powder and other explosives required to manufacture the gelatin sticks in the shed on Wednesday night.
Police are yet to ascertain the cause of the blast and are awaiting a report from the forensic experts who visited the spot on Thursday afternoon.
"We have booked Dodda Venkataramanappa for storing explosives illegally and causing the death of four persons. He has fled his village, Sadahalli. We are on the lookout for him," the Bangalore Rural SP said. The SP ruled out the hand of Naxalites in the blast as they use sophisticated explosives.
