Several people were injured in the terror attack, which reduced the bus to a mangled heap of iron. While earlier the CRPF believed the explosion was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), police sources, however, said it was a suicide bomber who rammed his car into the bus of 54 Battalion of CRPF.
