KANPUR, Sept. 15 -- Panic gripped the Pahadi area of Ashoh village in Chitrakoot on Monday morning after an apparent explosion on Sunday night led to the discovery of severed human legs inside and outside a vacant plot owned by a senior BJP leader. A deep crater and material suspected to be linked to explosives were also found at the site. The plot, spread over 12 bighas along the Karwi-Rajapur main road, is enclosed by a boundary wall about eight feet high and has a gate facing the road. One severed leg was found inside the plot and another outside, with blood stains reported at both locations in Ashoh village, said police. The identity of the person, the cause of the explosion and the circumstances in which the legs were severed had not yet been established. Police were questioning people in the surrounding area and examining the forensic evidence to determine what happened. Villagers reported hearing a massive blast around 11 pm on Sunday. As it was late, nobody went out to find where the sound had come from....
