Police constable shows judge “how grenade works” inside courtroom, three injured

[Trisonics]

KARACHI (Staff Report) – A hand grenade exploded inside courtroom in Karachi’s Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) after a judge asked a police constable if he knew how grenades worked. The constable, instead of explaining his expertise in weapons and grenade handling to the judge, opted to demonstrate practically by promptly pulling out the pin from the grenade.

This resulted in a loud explosion, injuring three including the constable and a court clerk.

The blast took place while hearing of a case was underway in courtroom-III. Two policemen and a court clerk were among injured and taken to a nearby hospital for first aid. Court’s proceeding was briefly suspended as a result.

According to media reports, the grenade in question was a locally developed bomb which was brought to the courtroom by Investigation Officer Abid Ali as evidence. The bomb was, reportedly, not defused before production in the court.

The police and paramilitary forces in the vicinity immediately surrounded the area after the explosion fearing a terrorist attack and the security forces were put on high alert.

It is safe to say that now the whole court knows how grenades work, including the curious judge.

According to authorities, the constable who apparently knows how grenades work will be punished severely after he recovers from his injuries.

I wonder who is the bigger dope - the judge or the policeman.

Lolz, only in Pakistan. What was a live Grenade doing in the court room at the first place. Do they not follow any SOP like disarming any weapon before producing it as evidence?

 

[Stephen Cohen]

Any way what was the need to bring grenade to the court. It could have verified/certified by a neutral third party.

It had been emptied of explosives but the detonator was apparently still live which went off.

Sir with due respect I would like to differ with you on that, you can't empty manufactured grenade only you can remove detonator and above all only grenade's detonator can't produce enough explosion to injure three. Subject germane type is most probably HE-36 type.
