Two detonators, 1 firearm found

March 14, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 07:12 am IST - Jhargram (WB):

The security forces unearthed two detonators and one improvised firearm at Belpahari area in West Midnapore district on Sunday.

A senior police officer said the forces dug up the detonators, placed under a culvert, and the firearm, lying nearby, during the raid.

Some woodcutters tipped off the police after seeing wire jutting out of a culvert.

The officer said it was too premature to say if the detonators were in any way related to any plan to disrupt the Assembly elections slated next month. - PTI
