3 Engineers injured in blast at IISc critical, says hospital ?
Bengaluru, Dec 6: The three technicians injured in the blast at a lab in the Indian Institute of Science here Wednesday remained critical, hospital sources said.
The condition of Naresh Kumar (33), Kartik Shenoy and Athulya Uday Kumar (24) is critical but "hemodynamically" (relating to blood circulation) stable, M S Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, where they are undergoing treatment, said in a release Thursday.
"A team of doctors are attending to the three people," it said
Naresh Kumar and Kartik Shenoy were 'stable on ventilator' while Athulya Uday Kumar was 'awake, conscious and talking.'
However, Athulya could not recall what exactly happened the moment the blast occurred, sources told PTI.
A suspected cylinder blast had killed a 32-year old technician and injured three technicians during an experiment in the laboratory of Hypersonics and Shockwave research of the Aerospace Department of IISc.
The technicians of a private start-up company were involved in some experiment when the explosion suddenly occurred at around 2.

ED seeks time to file reply on Jacqueline Fernandez's plea to turn approver in money laundering case
New Delhi (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate on Monday sought time to file its reply on a plea by actor Jacqueline Fernandez seeking to turn approver in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.
Special Judge Prashant Sharma posted the matter for further proceedings on May 8.
The court had earlier on April 17 issued notice to the agency after the actor's counsel filed the application.
Fernandez, who was summoned by the ED several times in connection with the investigation, was named as an accused for the first time in a supplementary charge sheet filed by the agency.
On July 3, last year, the Delhi High Court dismissed her petition for quashing the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in the money laundering case.
Two months later, the Supreme Court refused to interfere with the high court's order.
Delhi Police had booked Chandrasekhar for allegedly duping the spouses of former promoters of Ranbaxy, Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh, of Rs 200 crore.
There are other ongoing investigations against him in several cases across the country.
Chandrasekhar and his wife, Leena Paulose, facing proceedings in a money laundering case, were arrested by Delhi Police along with others.
The police invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case.
Paulose and Chandrasekhar were alleged to have used 'hawala' routes and created shell companies along with other accused persons to park the money earned as proceeds of crime.
