ATS, Pakur police seize huge cache of explosives, 1 held
1 2 3 4 Dumka: The anti-terrorist squad (ATS) from Ranchi in a joint operation with Pakur police seized a huge cache of explosive materials from a house in Domangadiya village under the Pakudiya police station of Pakur district on Friday. Acting on a tip-off, the security forces raided the house of one Raja Miyan and seized 9,335 pieces of gelatin and 2,160 pieces of detonators, which were kept in dozens of cartons. The forces also arrested Miyan's son identified as Samsul Hasan. "The owner of the house and a few others managed to escape after seeing the security forces," said a police official, adding that the arrested man confessed to indulging in the practice of selling the explosive materials to owners of stone quarries for blasting purposes. Informing about the incident, the officer in charge of Pakudiya police station, Amit Kumar Singh, said, "The ATS had inputs about the illegal stock of explosives, prompting us to conduct the raid." He further said an investigation to identify other key players of the case was on. Singh added, "The arrested person confessed to supplying the explosives to the different stone quarries operating in the district." The practice of supplying illegal explosives to such an extent, however, has sparked a sensation in the district, which is famous for the stone industry, as its recovery also suggests the operation of illegal stone quarries on a large scale.
