The explosion has caused extensive damage to the seminary building,” Gupta told -Bhasha over phone from Banka.
He said “not a single man, including the imam of the mosque” could be traced when a police party reached the spot.
“We are trying to get details from residents of the neighbourhood.
A team of forensic experts has been called to inspect the site.
Till then, clearing of debris has been put on hold.
Forensic examinations would ascertain what type of explosive material was used,” the SP added.
Asked whether the blast resulted in injury to any resident of the neighbourhood or damage to adjoining structures, and if blood stains were found at the site of the explosion, Gupta replied in the negative.
Places of worship as well as educational institutions across Bihar have remained closed for more than a month as the state is under a Covid-induced lockdown.
