Overview
- The cache, found Tuesday in a garden near Dosar Bhavan Chowk, held about 15 gelatin sticks, roughly 50–58 detonators and several connectors, police said.
- The location sits in a crowded zone near major temples and mosques and about 1.5–2 km from the RSS headquarters, which led to cordons, evacuations and extra patrols.
- Nagpur Police and the bomb squad secured the items as FSL and the explosives regulator PESO began tests and officers collected nearby CCTV footage for leads.
- Police now focus on a possible theft and dump, checking distributor records and exploring any tie to a recent SBL unit blast, with local reporting saying company logs show no pilferage.
- Officers say the bag likely lay there for about a month, no arrests have been announced, and the Anti-Terrorism Squad has opened a parallel inquiry into origin and intent.
