Advocate General Subodh Kanta told reporters: "The state is looking at banning the Sanatan Sanstha. The decision could be taken tomorrow (Tuesday)."

"We are also looking at whether it would be a central or state ban," he added.

Two members of the Hindu group were killed Friday evening when a bag full of explosives they were carrying went off.
