Bengal mayhem averted? 81,000 detonators seized; Terror angle being probed

A Special Task Force (STF) of the West Bengal police on Thursday seized 81,000 detonators from the state’s Birbhum district when the explosives were being smuggled in a mini truck, an officer said. The driver of the vehicle was arrested and he is being questioned by the STF. “We are trying to find out whether these explosives were smuggled to execute any terror plan or not," the officer said. Initial probe revealed that the detonators were being smuggled from Raniganj in Paschim Bardhaman district, a coal belt, to Rampurhat in Birbhum district. Watch the video for more.
