PUNE, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)- The investigation of the devastating Pune blast is on. When the police was asked whether they are suspecting Indian Mujahiddin to be involved with the terror attack, they said it is too early to comment on anything. After the shocking 26/11 at Mumbai, the major bomb blast that has taken place in a popular German Bakery near Chabad House, has shocked the nation. The blast killed 9 and injured 57 others. Among the 9 victims who lost their lives, there was Ankik Dhar, a 24-year-old 2009 graduate from IIT Kharagpur. Ankik Dhar, from the department of electronics and electrical communication engineering, was called “Tempo Da” in the campus by his seniors and batch mates. It is really unfortunate that the promising career of the young man had to be cut short by the German Bakery blast.

A candlelit ceremony in memory of Ankik Dhar will be observed by his friends who were deeply moved by his untimely death at German Bakery blast. His friends said they will miss him terribly. They will miss him in the football ground. They further said that the memory of Ankik Dhar will always remain in their hearts.

Apart from Ankik Dhar, there were 8 others who lost their lives in the German Bakery blast. The list includes Anandi Dhar, 19 and Shilpa Goenka, 23 from Kolkata, T Sundari, 22, from Bangalore and Bineeta Gadani from Mumbai. There is an unidentified body of a female who is expected to be a foreigner. Out of the 57 victims who were injured, 20 were discharged while the others are still undergoing treatment at Jehangir, Ruby, Surya, Budharani, Medi point, Sancheti and Sasson hospitals in Pune. Quite ironically, the city turned red with blood of promising youths like Ankik Dhar and Anandi Dhar just a day before Valentine’s Day, the day of love and harmony.
