Bhubaneswa: An attempt to create a smoke screen for a play scene went horribly wrong when the explosive material used went off killing one person and injuring two dozen more in Orissa’s Nayagarh district, police said Wednesday.
The explosion occurred when a member of a drama troupe was trying to create smoke by burning explosives for a scene in Petapali village.
“There was a drama show in the village. A troupe member burnt explosive material for a love scene,” said police officer Manoranjan Mohanty.
Four of the injured are in critical condition, he said.
