"It was a grenade explosion, it has caused injuries to approximately 18 people, all shifted to the hospital", said MK Sinha, Inspector General of Police, Jammu while speaking to media personnel.

I went to the spot of the explosion and saw about a dozen people were badly injured." The injured have been taken to the Government Medical College for treatment.
