A four-wheeler belonging to Amitkumar was caught in fire when a bomb blasted under it.
The injured child is a 7 years old son of Amitkumar’s elder brother, Mayanglambam Sachidananda, who is currently a coach in state Youth Affairs and Sports department.
The child was taken to a nearby hospital.
According to locals, two unknown persons arrived on a two-wheeler and asked for the residence of someone named Gunamani. When the locals said there was no such person in the area, the two unknown individuals then asked for Amitkumar’s residence, which the locals identified.
