As a safety measure, the seized materials were later shifted to the premises of a nearby private school under strict security arrangements to avoid any untoward incident.“At first glance, the seized items appear to be explosives commonly used in mining activities. However, their exact nature and intensity will be confirmed after a detailed technical examination,” the SP said. He further added that the recovered items included three pieces of Class-2 explosive material, two silver-coloured detonators, and a device resembling an electric multimeter. A bomb disposal squad was deployed to examine the materials and neutralise them. Police have registered a case against unidentified persons.
