Now India's northeast region comes under terror attack, serial bomb blasts kill at least 5 in Agartala

On Wednesday evening, series of bombs exploded in the Radhanagar and Golbazar areas of Agartala, capital of Tripura, killing at least 5 and wounding over 100.

According to police investigators, four high intensity bombs went off in Agartala. "One of the bombs went off in a bus stand while the remaining three exploded in busy maket areas. They all went off in quick succession," a police official said on conditions of anonymity.

A sixth bomb was found inside a tiffin box at the Motor Stand and defused.

According to eyewitnesses, the bombs went off suddenly, catching people off guard. "The bombs went off during evening rush hour. People were seen shopping ahead of a Hindu festival. Everybody was caught off guard," said Soumitra Das, an eyewitness.

"There was total chaos. As soon as the bombs exploded, people were running here and there to safety. Some of them were lying in pool of blood and moaning. Soon, the ambulances came and carried away the injured to be treated," Das said.
