Jilted lover turns `human bomb'

Lucknow: A jilted lover tied crude bombs to his person and blew himself up at the wedding of his beloved in Hardoi district on Friday.

Several people, mostly women, were also wounded in the incident.

Netrapal, an electrician, tied crude bombs to his body, connected through a circuit with a switch in his shoe.

He entered the venue, disguised as a woman to gain easy entry, with an objective to blow up the groom, Ram Lakhan.

Just before the `kanyadaan', the 22-year-old spurned lover reached the spot and tried to kill the bridegroom. Netrapal was killed when the bombs exploded, Additional Police Superintendent Vikramaditya Sawar said.

However, Superintendent of Police K.N. Singh maintained that it was not a case of human bomb though a switch and wires were found on the body of the accused.

Meanwhile, a bomb disposal squad is likely to inspect the body and remains at the spot on Saturday.

The bride and the groom left the venue after completing all the marriage rituals. — UNI
