At least 11 people were killed and 50 injured in two near simultaneous blasts in Hyderabad and the death toll could go up, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said on Thursday night.
Asked whether it was a terror attack, the minister said, "It is too early to say anything and only an investigation will reveal further information".
He said the two bombs were placed within a radius of 100 to 150 metres in Dilkhus nagar area in Hyderabad and placed on two bicycles.
