Police in India are investigating a series of explosions which killed three people at a Jehovah’s Witnesses meeting in the southern state of Kerala.
More than 50 others were injured in the blasts on Sunday at an event held by the Christian-based religious movement near the port city of Kochi (Cochin).
A man was detained after he posted a video claiming responsibility for the attacks and surrendered to police.
Police said they were still trying to verify his confession.
“He is in our custody. He has also presented some pieces of evidence which we are verifying. The investigation is at its preliminary stage,” additional director general of police MR Ajith Kumar told reporters.
The incident took place during a prayer session organised by Jehovah’s Witnesses in the town of Kalamassery, about 10km (six miles) north-east of Kochi. More than 2,000 people were attending the three-day event.
Two women who’d been attending the meeting died on Sunday, while a 12-year-old girl with 95% burns succumbed to her injuries on Monday morning.
Senior police official Shaik Darvesh Saheb said a preliminary investigation indicated that an improvised explosive device (IED) placed inside a tiffin box might have caused the blasts.
