Constable Zakir Hussain was on bandobast duty. Zakir has suffered injuries in his hand and shoulder. Police said that the idol was placed on a forklift vehicle and there was a huge crowd around it, including children. The firecrackers were mainly kept in a multi-shot box – near the silencer of the vehicle. An official said that it is not clear whether the explosion occurred due to heat or a spark from the silencer. The matter is being investigated.
