The blast that took place around 1:30 pm ripped through the shop.

All the roofing CI sheets of the shop have been blown away by the impact of the blast.

The windshield of a red Alto car, which was moving along the road at the time of the blast also shattered.

But the shop owner named Bijay Raja (45), who hails from Bhospur district, Bihar, luckily escaped unhurt as he was staying in another shop nearby at the time of the blast.

It could not be confirmed whether the unknown assailants triggered the blast to target the non-Manipuri.

A large number of commandos from Imphal West District Police rushed to the site.

They blocked the Imphal-Moreh road for some time and conducted search for possible more bombs in the area.

The commandos recovered one SIM card each of Airtel and Vodafone from the blast site.

Police said they believed the explosion was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

However, they added that further investigation was on to determine the type of the bomb.

So far, no armed UG group has claimed responsibility for the blast.
