According to police, a two-litre pressure cooker bomb inside a black bag was discovered at the premises of his residence in Bishalnagar, Kathmandu . Dr. Pandey is currently in London to attend the conference organised by Department for International Development (DfID).
Dr. Pandey's wife Padma Pandey informed that they noticed the object inside the bag only in the morning. Police believe that the group which planted the bomb there had tried to explode it at night but could not do so and had fled.
Meanwhile, a crude bomb was also discovered from a residence where another civil society leader and rights activist Krishna Pahadi has been staying. It, too, was disposed off by the police.
