Waiter who opened bomb-laden bag was charred, but suffered no splinter injuries, as explosives did not contain nails or ball bearings, unlike earlier blasts



Experts attached to the forensic department told MiD DAY that most of the deceased in the Pune blast had deep burn injuries, and not splinter injuries.

A forensic expert, who visited the scene of the crime, said the explosives used in German Bakery were not mixed with nails or ball bearings, which were used in earlier terror strikes.

This is also evident from the fact that the body of Gokul, the waiter who opened the bag of explosives, was completely charred, but not a single splinter wound was spotted on him. "We have collected the samples, which have been sent to the forensics laboratory in Kalina for further analysis," said an expert.
