Two policemen injured, building damaged
Two police constables were injured and the building of the Civil Lines police station was partially damaged on Monday after some explosives stored in the record room went off.
Bomb disposal squad found three hand-grenades and a suicide jacket on the spot after 10 hours of looking through the rubble.
Police speculated that the explosives may have been set off due to an electric short circuit.
They said about 4 kg explosives, hand grenades and the suicide jacket kept in the record room had been recovered from some terrorism suspects.
The record room, investigation cell and half of the lock up were razed to ground.
The injured policemen were taken to Allied Hospital.
The doctors who examined them said they were out of danger.
SP (Lyallpur Town) Asmatullah Junejo told the media that an inquiry had been launched into the incident.
