Minutes later a second bomb went off in Qisa Khawani market across the road which also caused a fire destroying a large number of shops, they added.
Geo TV reported that six persons were killed and 100 injured in the twin blasts, while police official Yaseen Khan said four people lost their lives in the attack on the police outpost.
