Sources said that three persons, so far unidentified, had boarded the bus near Rahate Colony Square with bags which they had kept on the rack over the passengers’ seat. Two of them got down at the traffic signal on Wardha Road near Nagpur central jail after paying Rs 300 to the one of their friends occupying the back seat.The passengers started doubting the intent of the person left in the bus with three bags on the rack. They started grilling the third one who too jumped off the bus at Chhatrapati Square before fleeing.
The panicked passengers alerted the cops who summoned the bomb detection and disposal squad (BDDS). Crime branch personnel too reached the place. The bags were brought down from the bus. Liquor bottles were found inside them. A section of the cops felt that the liquor was being smuggled to Wardha.
