"Haris and two others who were at the spot have been rushed to the hospital," said Dr Shankar Prasad, medical director, St Philomenas Hospital.
"None of them have any open injuries and are being examined further," he told DH.
Dr Prasad said that Haris had a minor blood clot in his left leg, which is possibly due to a hard, yet small object like a stone hitting him during the blast. "We are taking his X Ray and analysing further. At the look of it, it seems like a very minor injury," he added.
