  "account": "A suspicious blast occurred at an under-construction building in Bengaluru's Pulakeshinagar area on Tuesday evening, injuring two men. One of the injured men lost a finger after opening a bag containing suspicious items found at the scene. Both injured individuals were transported to Bowring Hospital for treatment. The incident took place on the fourth floor of the building on Jeremiah Road. Home Minister Priyank Kharge urged the public not to speculate on the cause of the blast, as the investigation is ongoing. Forensic examination of the suspicious items has been initiated, and a clear explanation is expected by Wednesday evening once the Forensic Science Laboratory provides its report. Authorities are conducting a preliminary investigation to determine whether the blast was caused by a chemical reaction or an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), and no formal complaint has been filed at this stage.",
