Bengaluru: A box of explosives discovered along Prime Minister Narendra Modi's convoy route in Bengaluru was amateurishly assembled, according to sources. The device, found earlier this week, has prompted a thorough investigation by special teams from the Bengaluru South district. Investigators are now expanding their search beyond the immediate crime scene, with a focus on areas near the Tamil Nadu border.
Investigation Details
The explosives were reportedly crude in nature, suggesting a lack of professional expertise in their assembly. Sources indicate that the device did not appear to be part of a sophisticated plot, but its presence on a route designated for the Prime Minister's movement has raised security concerns. The Bengaluru South district police have formed multiple special teams to trace the origins of the explosives and identify those responsible.
Search Operations
Authorities are scouring locations beyond the crime scene, particularly in regions close to the Tamil Nadu border. This suggests that the suspects may have attempted to flee or that materials were sourced from that area. The investigation is ongoing, with police collecting forensic evidence and questioning local residents. Security has been heightened in and around Bengaluru as a precautionary measure.
The incident has drawn attention to the vigilance of security agencies, who acted swiftly to neutralize the threat. No injuries or damage were reported, and the Prime Minister's schedule remained unaffected. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
