Man dies after being fed crude bomb as rasgulla in Dindori
The Story in Brief
A 35-year-old man died after a crude bomb disguised as a rasgulla exploded in his mouth in Dindori district on Tuesday night (10 November). Rajendra Barautiya was sitting in the courtyard of his home in Padariya Chhanta village when an acquaintance, Ram Bhagat Barautiya, handed him a white object claiming it was the sweet. When Rajendra bit into it, the device detonated, causing severe injuries. He was rushed to the district hospital but died during treatment, the Indian Express reports.
Police arrested Ram Bhagat and another person. Kotwali police station in-charge Durga Prasad Nagpure said a case was registered under Section 105 of the BNS and Sections 3 and 4 of the Explosives Act. Rajendra's wife Sushila Bai told News9 that the bomb was used to kill wild boars. Investigators are probing how the accused obtained the explosive device and the circumstances of the incident, according to sources.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The four outlets all report the same core incident with uniform facts provided by the police: the victim's name, the accused, the time and place, and the sections under which a case was registered. NDTV and News9 offer shorter versions, while Times of India and Indian Express carry fuller details including the wife's statement and the device's use against wild boars. Indian Express adds specific context that the explosive was concealed inside the rasgulla. No outlet attributes any motive beyond the alleged deception or probes the accused's possible intent beyond the immediate facts. The next step remains the police investigation into the bomb's source and the accused's possession of it, as stated by Kotwali Inspector Durga Prasad Nagpure.
