Explosives found near Bengaluru school; case filed
Gelatine sticks and detonators were seized from an empty plot adjacent to a school, raising concern about potential illegal activities.
Days after a blast at the Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru, the police found explosives near a school in Bellandur on Tuesday (March 19), raising concern among citizens.
Gelatin sticks with detonators and other explosives were found in a tractor near temporary sheds put up for construction workers in front of a local school in the city, police said on Tuesday.
A police officer on patrol spotted them at Chikkanayakanahalli under Bellandur police station limits on Monday night and sought details from the workers there but there was no satisfactory reply from them, police said.
"We suspect that these could have been kept by the labourers to break rocks for constructing buildings," a police official said.
Police have registered a case under the Explosives Substances Act and launched an investigation.
