Blasts kill at least two, wound 100 in Agartala
At least two people were killed and about 100 wounded when four bombs exploded in Agartala on October 1, police said.
Police said they suspected Muslim militant groups, based in neighboring Bangladesh, were behind the blasts in the Radhanagar and Gulbazar areas of Agartala - capital of Tripura.
"Two people have died and several of the injured are in critical condition in hospital," police spokesman Nepal Das said from Agartala by phone.
One of the bombs went off at a bus stand while the remaining three exploded in and around a market in quick succession during the evening rush-hour.
Sanjiv Sen, a witness, told Reuters by phone from Agartala: "There is total chaos. There were people out shopping when the explosions occurred." He said many of the wounded were women.
The state, bordering Bangladesh, was on alert for possible attacks ahead of a major Hindu festival.
