New Delhi: Three nomads of Banchola village in Rajasthan are suspected to have been killed by a meteorite. Four others are reported to have been injured in the incident which occurred around 0930 hrs on Thursday.
Eye witnesses said that the victims — who used to sell utensils in exchange of old clothes— were sitting in a field when an unknown flying object hit them. A crater was formed due to a blast-like situation.
Senior police and administration officials rushed to the spot to monitor rescue operation and to ascertain the exact cause of the incident. The injured were taken to a hospital in Bundi district and a team from forensic experts was called to look into the situation.
While the locals believed that it was a meteorite, the police said the blast may have occurred due to the explosive scrap that the nomads had collected.
