Jaipur: A suspected meteorite today Thursday claimed the lives of three nomads and injured four others at Banchola village in Rajasthan's Bundi district. Two persons died on the spot and the third at a local hospital, police said.
A crater was formed due to a blast-like situation, police said, adding it might be a blast in explosive scrap which the nomads or `banjaras' had collected from somewhere.
Could have been a Hellfire from a UAV. Anyone look up? | According to fellow nomads, the victims, who used to sell utensils in exchange of old clothes, were sitting in a field when an `ulkapind' (unknown flying object) hit them around 9 a.m., police said. |
