Bomb recovered in Ranchi pond
June 16th, 2010 - 8:02 pm ICT by IANSRanchi, Jun 16 (IANS) A low intensity bomb was recovered from a pond in Bariatu area of Ranchi that was later defused, police said Wednesday.
According to police, some locals were swimming in a pond when they found a bag containing a cylindrical pot. A bomb was found inside the pot.
The locals informed the police officers of Bariatu, who reached the spot and informed the bomb squad.
“We exploded the bomb in a secluded place. The explosion of the bomb was loud and it could have done much damage in residential areas,” said Rachit Kumar a member of the Bomb Disposal Service (BDS) to reporters.
In the last fortnight, Ranchi police have recovered bombs from various parts of the city. On June 8, police averted an attempt to perhaps target the passport office building by recovering three bombs from an auto-rickshaw near the office.
On June 7, police recovered 275 gelatin sticks, 10 detonators and other materials used in preparing bombs from Hazaribgh road railway station of Giridih district.
On June 5, police recovered four Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), each weighing 60 kg, from a village situated on the outskirts of Ranchi. On June 3, Dhanbad police recovered 750 live cartridges of an INSAS rifle from a pond.
