The deceased were identified as Ayesha (40), her son Siddique (18) and their neighbhour Devarajan (45). The incident occurred in a two-storey building that was rented out to nine families. The explosion occurred on the top floor of the building and three houses were completely damaged.
The injured, including a three-year-old girl, were shifted to Salem government hospital.
Initially, it was suspected to be an LPG cylinder blast. However, the extent of damage at the blast site and nearby areas forced the authorities to rethink about the cause of the blast. Officials said the exact reason for the blast could not be confirmed at this stage. But they almost ruled out the possibility of it being an LPG cylinder blast.
A cow tied to a pole about 300 feet away from the building died after being hit by heavy chunks of concrete debris from the structure. More than five vehicles and windowpanes of houses in a 200-foot radius shattered in the explosion which occurred at 6.10am.
A team of 25 fire personnel from Salem rushed to the spot and carried out the rescue operation. Senior officials, including district collector K Maharabushanam and superintendent of police R Sakthivel, visited the spot.
Further investigations are on.
