The report compiled by HEJ Research Institute of Chemistry, Karachi University found TNT material used in the Gulshan-e-Iqbal blast, which killed nine people and left over 20 injured on October 21.

The police have sent six samples provided by Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) to the laboratory for investigation. The lab found Trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosive material in the blast.

The blast occurred at a ground-plus-four-storey residential building, Noor Apartments, having banks and commercial shops on the ground and mezzanine floor.
