"My heart goes out to those affected by the blast in Kerala. Condolences to the affected families, and hope for a quick recovery for the injured," said PV Sindhu, the Olympic silver medalist, on her 'X' handle, formerly known as Twitter.
According to the latest reports, a man named Dominic Martin claimed responsibility for the blasts and surrendered to the police in Thrissur.

Kerala Health Minister Veena George stated that six individuals, including a twelve-year-old boy, remain in critical condition and are currently receiving vital medical treatment. In response to the incident, a four-member NIA (National Investigation Agency) team swiftly arrived at the scene to conduct a thorough investigation in collaboration with local law enforcement.
