MUNGER: In a major haul of explosives, Bihar’s Munger police on Tuesday seized 200 kgs of ammonium nitrate, 100 detonators and 400 gelatins from Shankarpur village under the Muffasil police station.
Police also recovered several live cartridges and a pistol, state DGP Neelmani told TOI in Patna. Acting on a tip-off, a police team led by IPS probationer Shibdeep Lande raided the village and recovered the explosives, including seven bundles of fusewire, which were concealed in a place surrounded by hills.
Police are on the lookout for one Wali Yadav, suspected to be the owner of the explosives. He is absconding. “We are yet to know where from the explosives came and what for,” Munger SP Sunil Nayak said and added investigations are on.
Munger police recently unearthed a mini gun factory, recovered seven pistols and arrested ten persons.
