Panaji, May 8 (IBNS): One person died and five others, including two children, were seriously injured in two low-intensity explosions at Marago town, around 30 kms from the capital on Thursday.

Goa police said they suspect gelatin sticks were used in the blast. 

No suspects have been arrested so far and neither the cause of the blasts is known. 

However, according to a few witnesses the blast occurred minutes after a suspicious looking person arrived in a scooter with a bag. 

Police are trying to get CCTV footage from the establishments around the blast spots. 

DGP T N Mohan said the entire area has been cordoned off. 

The South Goa Bomb Disposal Team is examining the place while also forensic team has been rushed to collect evidences. 

The crime branch team headed by IPS officer Kartik Kashyap has already begun an investigation into the blasts. 

Another bomb blast had rocked Margao in October 2009 when two persons – Malgonda Patil and Yogesh Patil who had links with right wing Hindu organization Sanathan Saunstha, were killed while planting the bombs.
