Prof’s Garden Suspected as Terrorists’ Bomb Cache in Nagpur Investigators in Nagpur have identified the quiet residential garden of college principal Ujwal Lanjewar as a potential pick-up or dead-drop location for explosive materials, raising concerns about a possible terror operation. The garden, located at Dosar Bhavan Chowk on Central Avenue, was found to contain 15 gelatin sticks (live cartridges) and 58 detonators, including eight with connectors, concealed in three plastic bags. The total weight of the material was approximately 2kg. The explosives were reportedly left unnoticed for several days, with authorities noting that the location was chosen for its lack of CCTV coverage, complicating the investigation. The garden is situated in a bustling residential and commercial area, within 5km of the RSS headquarters and 1.5km of significant religious sites across different communities. A MahaMetro facility is also nearby, making the location convenient for suspected operatives aiming to minimize travel time and exposure while moving materials toward potential targets. Police sources highlighted that gaps in the garden’s iron fencing made it easier to conceal the explosives. The recovered items, including severed wire connectors on the detonators, were deemed dysfunctional, though officials have not ruled out foul play. The discovery has triggered a high alert across the city, particularly in sensitive areas, as concerns grow that the material could have been used to assemble improvised explosive devices (IEDs) for attacks on crowded or symbolic locations. Intelligence agencies and anti-terror squads are probing whether the cache was part of a larger network sourcing industrial explosives for misuse.#mahaMetro #rss_headquarters #dosar_bhavan_chowk #ujwal_lanjewar #central_avenue
