Sai Baba Temple, Dilsukhnagar

Because the temple is so prominent, it has been caught up in several attacks on the area. On 21 November 2002 a bomb went off near the temple (Sakshi Post). According to Deccan Chronicle, explosives packed in a tiffin box had been hidden in a scooter parked in front of the temple; the blast killed a couple, and a second tiffin-box bomb placed a few metres away did not explode (Deccan Chronicle). A later Sakshi Post report instead describes a cycle bomb that injured a few people, so accounts of the 2002 incident differ (Sakshi Post). In February 2018 Deccan Chronicle reported that a suspect accused of funding the 2002 attack had been arrested abroad and brought back to India (Deccan Chronicle).

In 2007 a bomb was planted near the temple, but police defused it before it could explode (Sakshi Post).

In February 2013 twin blasts struck Dilsukhnagar close to the temple, at the A1 Mirchi Bajji Centre and near Venkatadri cinema (Sakshi Post; Outlook). Outlook reported that many of those injured were devotees who had come to pray at the Sai Baba temple (Outlook). Reports at the time suggested the temple itself had been the intended target, and that the plan changed after the then city police commissioner visited and police were deployed in strength around it (Sakshi Post).

In February 2015 an anonymous caller told Saroornagar police that a bomb had been planted on the temple premises; bomb and dog squads evacuated devotees and searched the site, found nothing, and suspected a hoax (Sakshi Post).
