New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu):  A significant development has come to light regarding the cylinder blast that occurred during the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh Mela. The terrorist organization Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) has claimed responsibility for the incident. The organization sent emails to several media outlets, stating that the blast was retaliation for the alleged fake encounter in Pilibhit. They also mentioned that the explosion is a warning to Chief Minister Yogi and that this is just the beginning. However, the authenticity of the email has not been verified by any authorities.

It is important to note that recently, a fire broke out at the camps of Shri Karapatra Dham Varanasi and Geeta Press Gorakhpur in Sector 19 of the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela area. The fire destroyed 280 cottages made of thatch and bamboo. Thirteen LPG cylinders stored in these cottages exploded due to the flames, causing panic. During the incident, five motorcycles and cash worth five lakh rupees were also destroyed. On December 23 of the previous year, the police in Pilibhit had killed three Khalistani terrorists in an encounter. The operation was conducted as a joint effort by the Pilibhit and Punjab police. All the terrorists were members of the Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF).
