Twin cinema blasts in Indian capital kill one and injure dozens

Both cinemas are in the western Karol Bagh neighbourhood of Delhi and the explosions occurred 15 minutes apart, said Junior Home Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal.

At the time of the explosions, both cinemas were showing the movie Jo Bole So Nihal - or Anyone Who Calls Out To God Will Be Blessed - a Hindi-language film that has been condemned by Sikh religious leaders for denigrating their faith by depicting a Sikh character being chased by scantily clad women.
