Jharkhand police arrest three persons with hundreds of detonators

Hazaribagh (Jharkhand), Sep 19 (ANI): Jharkhand police recovered a huge cache of detonators with the arrest of three persons on Friday.

The recovery was made in Hazaribagh district after the police got a tip off that some people were going to supply explosives.

"Police had got the information that some people were going to supply explosives and they were intercepted on the way while they were on a motorcycle. We recovered 900 electronic detonators from them," said Pankaj Kamboz, superintendent of police, Hazaribagh district.

Detonators are usually used in stone quarries and since the region is Maoist infested the police said they feared that the explosives would have reached the ultras. (ANI)
