Police zero in on batch number & plastic wrapper to trace explosives trail A suspicious green bag containing 15 gelatin sticks and 58 detonators was recovered from the courtyard of a professor’s house near Dosar Bhavan Chowk in Nagpur, triggering a major security scare. Authorities are now focusing on the explosives manufacturer’s batch number and the plastic wrapper used to package the gelatin sticks as critical clues to trace the explosives’ origin and identify those involved in the incident. The discovery has raised concerns about the vulnerability of the supply chain for commercial explosives and the potential for such materials to fall into the wrong hands. The police source emphasized that the batch number on the ammunition could lead investigators to the intermediary who distributed the explosives after they were released from the manufacturing unit. “The intermediary must have handed it over to some other player. We need to establish the chain,” the official stated. With no CCTV footage available and no eyewitnesses coming forward, the investigation is relying heavily on physical evidence, including barcodes and supplier records, to track down the handler of the explosives. According to a police officer, the cache seized on Tuesday was released by the explosives manufacturer well before a recent accident at their Katol unit on March 1. The plastic wrapper, which carries details such as shop names or places of origin, is also being scrutinized. Forensic teams have already collected materials for detailed analysis, and investigators are in contact with the manufacturer to verify production records, dates of supply, and authorized buyers.#nagpur #maharashtra #police #professor #dosar_bhavan_chowk
Bengaluru PES University professor suspended after abusive incident in classroom A professor at Bengaluru’s PES University was suspended following an incident in which he reportedly used derogatory language toward a student, calling them a "terrorist" during a class session. The incident, which sparked widespread discussion, led to the professor’s immediate suspension by the university management. According to a senior police officer, the administration requested a delay in filing a formal police complaint, citing the need for an internal departmental inquiry. The professor was placed under suspension pending further investigation. The altercation reportedly occurred in a classroom, where the professor allegedly targeted a student with verbal abuse. While details of the incident remain unclear, the university’s management stated that they would await the outcome of the internal inquiry before taking further legal action. The police officer noted that the professor’s suspension was a precautionary measure, emphasizing that the university’s decision to withhold immediate police involvement was part of an internal process. The incident has raised questions about the boundaries of academic conduct and the role of educators in maintaining a respectful learning environment. Students and faculty members have expressed mixed reactions, with some condemning the professor’s behavior as unacceptable, while others have called for a thorough investigation to determine the validity of the allegations. The university has yet to release an official statement detailing the circumstances of the incident or the specific nature of the professor’s remarks. The case has also drawn attention to broader issues of campus discipline and the handling of misconduct by faculty members.#bengaluru #student #pes_university #professor #internal_inquiry
