A powerful bomb blast ripped through a flat in Bahadurpur Housing Colony area here on Monday night but there were no reports of any casualty.
Two other high-intensity live bombs were timely defused by the police, Senior Superintendent of Police Jitendra Rana said.
Security agencies are probing if it has any links with the 2013 serial bomb blasts in Patna and Bodh Gaya.
Two youths staying in the flat illegally were suspected to be involved in making the bombs. They managed to flee when the explosion took place, Agamkuan police station SHO Vinay Sharma said.
A timer device of lotus brand was attached with the bombs. A watch of the same brand was used in the bombs that went off in 2013 at Narendra Modi’s rally at Gandhi Maidan ahead of the Lok Sabha polls and at Bodh Gaya, the police said.
An Intelligence Bureau team on Tuesday visited the MIG Sector III flat and collected information from locals, Agamkuan police station officials said.
The NIA team probing the blasts case at Gandhi Maidan as well Bodh Gaya is expected to visit the blast site during the day, they said. - PTI
