HYDERABAD: A mysterious low-intensity blast in a road-side garbage dump killed a woman at Anand Nagar in Mailardevpally on Sunday morning. The woman, who suffered burns in the blast while collecting waste from the garbage, died on the spot.
Police said a couple — Susheela and Rangamuni, who are ragpickers — reached a spot in an auto-rickshaw to pick useful plastic material from the dump. Around 8.45 pm, while the man was standing near the autorickshaw, his wife started collecting plastic material, which they sell it. She held on to a plastic bag, which was filled with an unknown material.
