Thiruvananthapuram: The explosive material hurled at the AKG Centre, the CPM State Committee Office in Thiruvananthapuram, was of very low intensity. The forensic department found it to be similar to a firecracker.

Forensic experts have found potassium chlorite, nitrate and aluminium powder among the chemicals collected from the blast site for chemical analysis.

The experts also said they did not find any material, such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), that could increase the intensity of the explosion, from the site.

Usually, a bomb is let off with the help of a detonator. However, in this case, the explosive substance was thrown into the premises.
