Jalandhar, December 3
The forensic experts from Chandigarh today found vital clues and evidences from the blast site at 20 SATA Regiment of Vajra Corps here.

While the Army authorities had initially claimed it to be an accidental blast, they had not so far ruled out the possibility of sabotage. Though the Army authorities remained tight-lipped on the issue, sources said the blast could have been due to a bombshell or an explosive.

Meanwhile, a four-member medical board conducted the post-mortem of the four jawans at the local civil hospital this afternoon. Civil Surgeon Dr SS Walia said they found pellets in the bodies. “We have forwarded our findings to the forensic lab at Chandigarh,” he said.

When asked about the post-mortem reports, sources said nothing could be disclosed. The Army authorities were also probing the angle that the victims were planning to steal equipment and parts lying in the workshop.
