According to the report, one person was seriously injured after a bomb blast near the mosque in Mochi Tola of Sasaram’s Nagar police station area. After the sound of the bombing, the entire area trembled for some time. In the bomb blast, 48-year-old Muhammad Seraj, who was present in the mosque complex, was seriously injured.
The bombing did not take place in the mosque, but in the empty ground near the mosque.
The police have arrested a Facebook user for spreading rumours about it on social media.
