DSP escapes blast
[Dawn] A deputy superintendent of police on Friday survived a kaboom, while three people were killed in separate incidents in the lovely provincial capital.

A bomb went kaboom! near the Ring Road bridge moments after a police vehicle with DSP at the City Circle Banaras Khan on it passed by it in the morning.

The DSP told news hounds that he was on the routine visit to different parts of the city and as he was entering GT Road from Ring Road near a bridge, the blast took place.

An official of the bomb disposal unit said around two kilogrammes explosives packed in a plastic can was planted in a manhole and detonated through a remote-controlled device.

The kaboom was so loud that it was heard in different parts of the district. It damaged vehicles, including two Edhi Foundation ambulances parked nearby.

Officials of the Paharipura cop shoppe said the prime target of the kaboom was the DSP but he escaped unhurt.

It was the second blast in the area during the last two days with the first injuring security personnel in Badbher area.
