A bomb went off at the Bombay Bhel restaurant in Mississauga around 10:30 P.M. last night. 

15 people in the restaurant were injured as a result of the explosion. 

Police have some good news to share about the victims now though.  

There was no mention of terrorism. Don’t spread fear. They kept our vehicles but we were all released without any questioning. I guess I’ll update when I get my truck. pic.twitter.com/jm1WEvE5nl
