Pune, Aug 1 (ANI): A day after four low-intensity blasts rocked Pune, supporters of veteran social activist Anna Hazare have been asked to cancel their ongoing protests in the city.
Their demonstration was being held near the Balgandharva theatre, one of the places where four bombs exploded last night.
According to TV reports, the police has withdrawn the permission granted to them for their public gathering.
The activists had organised a satellite protest to support 75-year-old Hazare, who is on a hunger strike against corruption with his aides in New Delhi.
Four low-intensity serial blasts took place within a one-km range on the busy Junglee Maharaj Road in Pune on Wednesday in which one person has been injured.
The first explosion occurred around 7.30 p.m. near Balgandharva Rang Mandir, an auditorium on Junglee Maharaj Road.
The second explosion occurred in a dustbin outside the popular fast food joint McDonald's. Soon after, the third and fourth blasts went off at Dena Bank and Garware Chowk, in the same vicinity, with the explosive material planted in cycles.
Another bomb was defused by the police within the next one hour. (ANI)
