Four people suffered severe burn injuries in Bengaluru 'Transformer Explosion'

Four people suffered severe burn injuries after a high-capacity electricity transformer exploded near a Coca-Cola warehouse in Benniganahalli, within the limits of Ramamurthy Nagar police station, on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 6.

The incident occurred between 12.30 pm and 1 pm, triggering panic in the area. The blast was reportedly powerful enough to completely destroy a two-wheeler parked close to the



transformer.

Police said a heavy power load was the preliminary suspected reason behind the explosion. However, the exact cause of the incident is expected to be established during the investigation.

The injured have been identified as Narayan, 50, a resident of Indiranagar, Azeem Pasha from TC Palya, Chetan, 23, from Thanisandra, and Lakshmi, 22. All four were reportedly standing close to the transformer when it suddenly exploded and sustained serious burn injuries.
