"The sample examined did not look like meteorite."
“While these nations have built up the networks to ward of dangers from space, India is totally unprepared to counter the impact of destructive meter-scale meteorites and extinction-level kilometre-scale asteroids or comets,”
Had such a system been in place, there would have been no room for controversy over the cause of explosion heard in Vellore last week.
“The verdict whether it was due to meteorite or not should be supported by peer-reviewed evidence,” Giri said, dismissing news reports quoting scientists of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIAP) in Bengaluru that the sample it examined did not look like meteorite.
Giri said a video uploaded on the internet shows the trail of a meteor over Chennai with its trajectory towards the West (the direction to Vellore). If this video is true, the Vellore event is most likely due to meteorite, he said. (IANS)(image: mashable.com)

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.
