Nagpur (The Uttam Hindu): There was a huge commotion in Nagpur, the deputy capital of Maharashtra, when a huge quantity of explosives was recovered a short distance from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters. The discovery of this deadly material inside an abandoned bag in the garden of a house has created a sensation in the entire city. Considering the seriousness of the incident, the police immediately issued a high alert in the city. Bomb Disposal Squad (BDDS), forensic team and a heavy police force have been deployed at the spot. The police is now conducting a thorough investigation to find out who had hatched this dreadful conspiracy to terrorize Nagpur.

The material for death was kept in the garden of the house

According to reports, this horrific incident occurred in the Dosar Bhavan Chowk area of ​​CA Road in Nagpur. On Tuesday morning (April 7th), the homeowner spotted a suspicious bag in the small garden of his house, located near a metro station. Upon looking inside the bag, he was shocked to find gelatin sticks. The homeowner immediately informed the police. Police and the bomb disposal squad arrived at the scene and sealed off the entire area. During the search, 15 gelatin sticks, 50 detonators, and 8 connectors were recovered from the bag, which have now been safely confiscated.

The area is very sensitive, were many important locations targeted?

The area where this deadly explosive was recovered is considered extremely sensitive from a security perspective. The Jama Masjid is located just 200 meters from the site, and the famous Poddareshwar Ram Temple is 500 meters away. Of greatest concern is the fact that the headquarters of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), one of the country's most important locations, is also located just one and a half to two kilometers away. The discovery of such a cache of explosives in such a sensitive area has put security agencies on high alert. It is feared that these explosives were hidden here to carry out a major conspiracy.

The bag was lying there for a month, wires are being connected to the Katol blast!

Initial police investigations have revealed a startling discovery: these explosives had been stored in the garden for approximately one and a half months. Investigating agencies suspect a direct connection to the recent fatal accident at an explosives company in the Katol area, although this has not yet been officially confirmed. Nagpur's Joint Police Commissioner, Navinchandra Reddy, stated that the case is being thoroughly investigated from every angle. Key questions are being sought: who placed the explosives, what was their motive, and what their true target was. Currently, intensive checking is underway in the area, and the search for suspects has been intensified.
