There, he fixed a regulator to the gas cylinder, although the gas was leaking. They lit a match-stick, which caused the explosion. The couple have been admitted to Victoria Hospital.
Student arrested
Devopan Das (20), a 6th semester student of NIFT, has been arrested on charges of creating public nuisance and assaulting police at HSR Layout.
Sources said, around 10.45 pm on Monday, public called the police when they saw Das creating a ruckus and disrupting traffic on 24th Main Road. A Cheetah patrolling vehicle accompanied by an assistant sub-inspector of police arrived. On seeing the cops, Das started using abusive language. Things turned ugly after he tore a cop's uniform.
Efforts of police to pacify the youth went futile even as the public vent their ire on him.
The cops, at this stage, took him to station. A few onlookers lodged a complaint. Das was later produced before a magistrate and sent to jail. It is not clear whether he was under the influence of alcohol as police are awaiting medical reports.
DCP ( South-East) confirmed that Das hailed from Kolkata and was staying in a rented accommodation in the college vicinity.
