Initial reports indicate that the rigged motorcycle was parked in a lane next to the police station and was detonated by a timer or remotely.
All of the injured were rushed to the district hospital.
Police cordoned off the area, while members of a bomb disposal squad searched for any more IEDs planted in the area.
