Bengaluru: A suspected gas leak at a fast-food restaurant caused a minor cylinder explosion on Thursday, damaging a multi-storeyed building in MSR Nagar.
No casualties or injuries were reported, the police said.
The explosion, which occurred in the morning, also caused minor damage to the nearby Ramaiah Institute of Technology.
A preliminary investigation suggests that a gas leak inside the restaurant may have triggered the explosion. “We have launched a probe to ascertain the exact cause,” a senior police officer said.
Officials from the Sadashivanagar police station and Fire Department visited the site to assess the situation and ensure no further damage or risk.
