By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, JULY 4. Two persons were injured when a bomb, placed inside the car belonging to a newly elected Congress candidate for the Ginnaram Mandal Territorial Parishad Territorial Constituency (MTPC) in Medak district, went off on Wednesday morning under Dundigal police station limits.

The car, a Toyata Qualis, belonged to Mr. Pratap Reddy of Bolarum village. The police said that a bomb was put in the engine of the car of Mr. Pratap Reddy on Tuesday night when it was in the garage of his house.

Though Mr. Reddy himself was to drive the car, in the last moment he asked a gram panchayat member, Mr. Ramulu, 30, to take the car for servicing. On the way, Mr. Ramulu picked up Mr. Yadagiri, 32, a party worker, and they stopped near a chemical factory for making a call.

Later, when they started the car they noticed smoke coming out of the engine and within no time there was a blast, seriously injuring both occupants. They were shifted to Gandhi Hospital.
