Police are moving forward in their investigation of a fatal blast that occurred in Hazaribag, killing three individuals. The incident raised immediate concerns about the kind of explosive used as authorities have already dismissed the involvement of RDX in the explosion.

The bomb disposal team of Jharkhand Jaguar scoured the site in Habibi Nagar's Bara Bazar area, collecting samples to determine the nature of the explosive device. Despite efforts, the investigators could not instantly identify the explosive material.

Debris, including metal fragments, has been sent to Ranchi for detailed lab analysis. Meanwhile, the victims Saddam, Nanhi Parveen, and Rashida Parveen have been laid to rest, and local government has provided financial support to their families. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
