India "Meteor-Killed Man" was NOT by Meteorite 09FEB2016 Graphic!

VERY GRAPHIC- India "Meteor-Killed Man" was NOT by Meteorite 09FEB2016
Video and photo below- This video may be inappropriate for some users.

Event took place at 1302 Local Time 06FEB2016 according to timestamp on security video. Local news, NEWS X,  broke the original story at 1504 Local time. Photos shown of "meteorite, 11 grams" are not of a meteorite. It was mentioned in other reports that "gelatin", dynamite, may have been stored/buried in the garden spot where the "crater" was located and that gardeners had been burning trash at the time of the event. Police claim that their dog detected no explosives and the police later recover a "meteorite" that according to photos released is NOT a meteorite.

Scroll down IF you still wish to see the VERY GRAPHIC photo and video.

Police, however, dismissed these initial eyewitness accounts as rumours. They put out the guesswork that the explosion was caused by gelatine sticks buried and abandoned amid the rocks at the time of construction of the college.

They said that the college's gardeners, Sasikumar(42) and Murali (26), were burning garbage to clean up the garden and inadvertently set off the unused gelatine sticks.

Sources said that Kamaraj and another driver Sultan (57) were drinking water from a water tank in the garden when they were hit by splinters from the meteorite.

Kamaraj fell with bleeding injuries and Sultan sustained minor injuries. Kamaraj was rushed to the government hospital in Vaniyambadi but died on the way.
