Bomb Scare In Nagpur: 2Kg Explosives Found Nagpur: A significant bomb scare unfolded in the city on Tuesday when fifteen live gelatin sticks and 58 detonators, including eight with connectors, were discovered in the garden of Prof Ujwal Lanjewar’s residence in Central Nagpur. The location, just 5 kilometers from the RSS headquarters, triggered an immediate emergency response. Bomb detection and disposal squads, Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) officials, anti-terrorist units, and other central and state agencies rushed to the scene after the professor’s family alerted the police control room in the morning. The recovered explosives totaled 2 kilograms, with each 25mm detonator weighing 125 grams. A bomb disposal squad official confirmed the materials were live and dangerous, emphasizing the potential devastation if detonated simultaneously. An explosives expert warned that such an explosion could have caused an impact akin to an improvised explosive device (IED) or artillery shell blast. The expert highlighted the proximity of a petrol pump at Dosar Chowk, just 15 meters away, and a Metro track 14 feet above, which could have been severely affected. The explosives were subsequently moved to a secure magazine in Kalmeshwar for analysis. A case has been registered under the Explosives Act against unidentified individuals. Police sources revealed that an ammunition dealer has been identified, and multiple teams are verifying the movement of the explosives and their handlers. Security measures have been heightened, with the city placed on alert. Police Commissioner Ravinder Singal visited the site, stating that the source of the explosives would be identified soon.#rss_headquarters #pesho #prof_ujwal_lanjewar #kalmeshwar #katol_factory
