An explosion at a godown in RR Nagar, Bengaluru, injured three people, including a nine-year-old boy, on Saturday morning, October 24, 2026. The incident occurred in the Pattangere area of Rajarajeshwari Nagar, where Bablu, a 20-year resident of Bengaluru hailing from Bihar, was storing materials for his pani puri business. Three individuals were affected: Bablu, his neighbor Lakshmamma, and a nine-year-old boy.
Emergency services transported the injured to a private hospital for treatment. Reports indicate a suspected gas leak from a cylinder triggered a fire inside the godown, causing pressure to build up and resulting in flames bursting out when Bablu arrived in the morning. Authorities are investigating the cause and assessing the extent of the injuries.
