According to the reports, these country-made explosives were bought by three men who they used them for fishing near the Cauvery banks. They used two of the gelatin explosive sticks and brought the unused ones back to their friend Boopathy’s home.
Boopathy’s son, who was playing in the house, glanced at those explosives, presumed that the they were mouth smacking food items and took a bite out of temptation. Unfortunately, the explosive bursted into the child’s mouth and severely injured him. Before his family members and the nearby people could arrange for any medical help, the boy died at the spot.
