Police Recover Illegal Explosives from Magazine Operator’s House in Sagar

A large cache of illegal explosives has been recovered from the residential premises of magazine operator Dulichand Patel in Sagar. The explosives were found stored in boxes, and police action is still underway.

The recovery was made in Majhua village under Karrapur Outpost and Baheria Police Station in Sagar. Police raided the residential premises of Dulichand Patel, who operates a magazine, after receiving information about the alleged storage and sale of illegal explosive material there.

According to the information received by police from an informant, explosive material was being stored and sold illegally at the premises. After receiving the information, the entire police team reached the location and began a search operation.

During the action, police found a large quantity of illegal explosives stored at the premises. The recovered material included explosives from different companies and different lots.

Police said the recovery included ATMM’s fraud-related boxes and small-sized explosives with one-inch motors. The police are verifying the details of the different lots and preparing the seizure documents in accordance with the law.

Police Action Underway

An officer said the action is currently continuing. As an initial step, action is being taken against magazine operator Dulichand Patel, and a case is being registered.

The officer said further action would be taken on the basis of the facts that emerge during the investigation. It has also been stated that two more names have emerged in connection with the matter.

The recovery has taken place during the festival season. On the question of the large quantity of explosives found at the premises, the officer said these are commercial explosives used for blasting work. They are not used as firecrackers for Diwali.

However, since the matter involves the illegal storage and sale of explosives, legal action is being taken, the officer said.

The officer also said that, considering the quantity of explosives recovered, it was impossible to estimate how much damage could have occurred if the material had reached the hands of the wrong person.

The officer added that only a ballistic expert would be able to assess the exact extent of the possible damage.

Police action in the case is currently continuing.
