| A parcel bomb went off injuring a railway woman employee Nagalaxmi, 53, in her flat at Kalyaninagar of Malakpet on Tuesday evening. Panic gripped Kalyaninagar following the explosion.
The woman was admitted to hospital with burn injuries. Doctors attending on her said she was out of danger. Her nephew, V. Sai Surya Teja, who was beside her when the parcel bomb exploded, escaped unhurt. Nagalaxmi returned home around 4.15 p.m. and Sai Surya Teja dropped in to see her. The bomb packed in a brown envelope was delivered by an unidentified person with her name written on it in the afternoon. The packet was kept on a pillar of the complex gate.
The watchman's wife brought and handed over the cover to Teja. "I sat on a sofa in the hall while aunty tore open the cover when it exploded. There was not much of a noise but she suffered burns," a visibly upset Teja told The Hindu .
As he raised a hue and cry, neighbours rushed in and shifted Nagalaxmi to hospital. Her relatives told the police that she had no disputes with anyone but had been receiving threatening calls on her mobile phone for the past two days.
Nagalaxmi lives alone on the first floor of Sandhyagiri Enclave. Her son Prakash, a software engineer, lives in the U.S., while daughter Saritha, a housewife, resides at Sanathnagar.
On Sunday, an anonymous caller rang up and started asking details of her family members. When she sought to know who the caller was, the latter rang off saying he was a naxalite and that his leader would call her soon. Alarmed, she called back the number and was told that it was a public call office.
Next day, she received another phone call. The caller abused her for making inquiries about him. He banged the receiver warning her not to make further enquiries about him. "You'll face the consequence if you continue to trace me," her relatives quoted the caller as saying.
