At least four people were injured in a low-intensity explosion on Saturday at a private hospital, less than three km from the Taj Mahal, police said.

The explosion took place around 5.30 pm at the reception of Jai Hospital, situated on a service lane of National Highway-2, barely 2.5 km away from Taj Mahal, a declared terror target and frequented by thousands of tourists, Indian and foreigners.

Security at the Taj Mahal and other places was increased in the city after the explosion.
