At least five people were killed, including a six-year-old girl, and 50 others were injured when an explosion occurred at an eatery situated in Old Anarkali's food street area of Pakistan's Lahore on Saturday, (DawnNews) reported. The condition of eight injured persons is said to be critical.
The Punjab government announced compensation for all the victims and their family members. Preliminary police inquiries suggested that a time device had been placed between chairs near Bokhara Restaurant. It created a one-foot deep crater when it exploded. The blast was so intense that it damaged some cars and motorcycles parked on nearby roads and also an electricity transformer. Some shops were damaged. The blast occurred in a high security zone which is home to government offices, including the Central Police Office. An extensive search operation was conducted in the area a few days ago.
