The SP quoting the bomb disposal squad said it was not a time device or a remote-controlled bomb. Instead, it carried safety fuse which went off in 40-45 seconds after the bomb had been placed. The school was closed for the weekly holiday. No one was injured. The SP said it seemed the attackers wanted to create panic.
