The Christian organization Jehovah's Witnesses, which was founded in the United States in the 1800s, was the site of the explosions.

"Shocked and dismayed by the news of a bomb attack on a religious gathering in Kerala," Tharoor said on X, the previous Twitter platform. I urge immediate police action and categorically denounce it. But that is insufficient. It is heartbreaking to see my state succumbing to a murderous and destructive mindset. I urge religious leaders everywhere to band together in denouncing such brutality and educating their people that violence only leads to greater bloodshed.

CI in Kalamassery According to Vibin Das, the initial explosion happened at approximately nine in the morning, and over the course of the following hour, there were many more explosions, as reported by news agency ANI. Both private hospitals and Kalamassery's Government Medical College Hospital have accepted the wounded. 

An eight-member National Security Guard (NSG) team hurried one of its bomb disposal units from Delhi to Kerala in order to gather and find out what ingredients were utilized in the explosion, according to further information obtained by ANI. Following a directive from Union Home Minister Amit Shah to the head of the special force to dispatch a team to the explosion location and begin an investigation, the disposal unit was relocated. According to DGP Shaik Darvesh Saheb, an improvised explosive device (IED) was the source of the explosion.

A elderly lady described the startling event to PTI, saying, "After hearing the initial blow, all I saw when I opened my eyes was a flame in front of me. Nothing more, nothing less than a blaze. Everyone dashed in all directions. A sizable crowd of individuals occupied the expansive hall."

A 70-year-old guy expressed his disbelief, saying he had never seen anything like it. 

"I was standing at the side of the hall, closing my eyes and praying," he added. Abruptly, a startling explosion echoed from the vicinity. Along with others, I hurried to the door when I saw just flames around."

"The attendee had never seen anything like this in all his years of attending the convention," he claimed.
