Pieces of flesh, people with blood soaked clothes outside HC

New Delhi, Sep 6 (PTI) As terror struck outside the Delhi
High Court, a man who lost one of his legs was seen trying to
get away from the site as limbs and pieces of flesh were
strewn on the ground along with shards of glass.
Lawyers and litigants with blood soaked clothes ran
helter-skelter as soon as the blast took place.
Stunned by the deadly blast, a middle aged woman who had
come to secure bail for her relative could not speak while
litigant Rahul Gupta who was barely 10 metres away from the
site had problems hearing.
Gupta, who was at the reception counter near the blast
site, said he cannot hear after the deafening blast.
"I heard a loud noise and smoke coming out following by
cries of people," said Narendra Kumar Singh, a guard at a
construction site outside the court.
The Gate No.5, where the blast took place, was crowded
with 100 to 200 people waiting in a queue to get entry passes.
There were several lawyers at the spot.
A woman lawyer, who refused to identify herself, said she
heard a loud noise while she was coming towards the court.
"By the time I could come police had cordoned off the
roads and people were being taken to hospitals. I parked my
car and walked to the gate. I am really terrified and hope
none of my friends have been injured in the incident."
Another lawyer said the gate where the blast happened is
one of the most crowded gates at the High Court premises and
it was the "peak hour" at the court.
"This is the time when hundreds of people come here for
making passes to enter the High Court. I was 200 metres away
when the blast took place," he said.
"I heard a deafening sound and what happened later was
quite devastating," Ajay Aggarwal, a lawyer and an eyewitness,
said.
R P Luthra, another lawyer, who helped police personnel
take out the injured from the spot, termed the scene as
"horrific".
"I was issuing passes to my client to enable them to
watch court proceedings when I heard the blast," Luthra said,
adding "Delhi Police personnel did a good job in rushing the
injured to hospitals."
As the blast took place near a counter where passes are
issued for senior citizens, a lot of spectacles were seen
strewn around.
The pass counter was badly damaged in the blast.
Soon after the blast took place, several lawyers
including High Court Bar Association Vice President K K Uppal
was seen helping the injured to waiting ambulances. PTI PNM
