Hi, List,
I think Svend has hit on the most likely explanation
for this incident.

Hi Sterling, others,
you are correct. I had in mind other similar incidents where people took
apart ordnance in order to sell the metal for scrap.
Please view this article for a similar report from the Bathinda District
further north.

Most of these accidents have in common that there is no one left to report
about the chain of actions that lead to the blast.
Best regards
Svend
