A newly-wed man and his 85-year-old grandmother were killed and his wife critically injured in western Odisha town of Patnagarh on Friday afternoon after a parcel bomb wrapped as a wedding gift exploded, police said.
Soumya Sekhar Sahu of Patnagarh and his grandmother Jemamani Sahu succumbed to injuries in a local hospital. His wife Reema Sahu has been admitted in a critical condition in a government medical college in Sambalpur district.
The couple got married on February 18.
Sahu’s nephew Dipak Sahu said the parcel, which did not have the sender’s name or address, exploded as soon as it was unwrapped, seriously injuring the couple and the Sahus’ grandmother.
Police said Jemamani was declared brought dead at the local hospital while Sekhar died in government-run medical college and hospital in Burla.
Patnagarh sub-divisional police officer Sesadeba Bariha said the parcel seems to have a crude bomb which was designed to explode on unwrap. The dog squad and the forensic team of the Bolangir police have started investigation.
Police suspect that the gift was sent by someone local.
Last month, a doctor in Madhya Pradesh was critically injured when a parcel bomb fitted inside an FM radio exploded on his engagement day. He died a day later in a Bhopal hospital.
当时时间23日下午,印度奥里萨邦一对新婚夫妇收到一份结婚礼物,不料打开后是一个炸弹包裹,新郎及其85岁的祖母不幸被炸身亡,新娘受重伤。
据《印度斯坦时报》报道,印度东部奥里萨邦一对新人于2月18日喜结连理,这对新人和家人在23日打开一份新婚礼物时,发生轰然爆炸,新娘瑞玛(Reema Sahu)伤势严重,被送往当地一家公立医院接受救治,新郎的祖母甘玛嫚(Jemamani Sahu)被送往当地医院后宣布死亡,而新郎索姆亚(Soumya Sekhar Sahu)则死于政服开办的另一家一家医学院。
新郎的侄子迪帕克(Dipak Sahu)说,包裹上没有寄件人的姓名和地址,包裹被拆开的当下,就爆炸了,导致家人受重伤。
当地警方表示,包裹里的炸弹,被设计成了拆解炸弹,因此在打开时便立即爆炸。警方目前已就该事件展开调查,并怀疑这份礼物是从当地寄到这对新婚夫妇住所来的,犯案动机仍未知。
据悉,这已不是印度首次发生炸弹伤亡事故。今年1月,印度中央邦的一名医生在订婚当天被安装在调频收音机内的包裹炸弹炸伤,一天后在当地医院死亡。(海外网编译)

难以置信,不过真实发生了
肯定是熟人干的,为的是报复。
