Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday after multiple explosions occurred at a convention center, killing one and injuring several others.
The Union Home Minister further directed the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the National Security Guard (NSG) to investigate the event.
The bomb explosion during a prayer meeting of Jehovah’s Witness members at Zamra International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Kalamassery area of Ernakulam district killed one person and badly injured several more.

“It’s a very unfortunate incident. We are collecting details regarding the incident. All top officials are there in Ernakulam. DGP is moving to the spot. We are taking it very seriously. I have spoken to the DGP. We need to get more details after the investigation,” Vijayan said.
