While I was standing and talking to someone, a body part ... a hand, with the man's shirt still on it, fell right behind me, Amit Mudgal (36) told PTI.

Recalling the terrifying moments following the explosion, he said, "About 20 minutes ago, the situation was unbelievable. There was a huge blast, and within seconds, the sky was covered in red smoke," he said.

He said the impact was so severe that human remains were scattered across the street. "As I moved towards the fire, I helped several people get into ambulances."

An injured eyewitness, who had a wound on his forehead, said the explosion appeared to have originated from a car parked nearby.
