At least two lawyers were injured in an explosion at a Lucknow court on Thursday afternoon.

The police said the incident was a result of rivalry between two lawyer groups. Three live crude bombs were recovered from the spot.

Lawyer Sanjeev Sodhi, say officials, was the target of the attack but he escaped with minor injuries.

“We received an information of explosion in the complex. We are combing the area. We have just begun the probe so won’t be able to say anything,” said Additional DCP, West, Lucknow, Vikas Chandra Tripathi.
