Bengaluru Police Duped by Fake Dynamite Threat
31 Oct
Summary
- Dynamite-like object found by roadside in Bengaluru city.
- Police investigation revealed no explosive material inside.
- Incident occurred amid high alert after a recent IED explosion.
A suspicious dynamite-like object discovered by the roadside in Sonnenahalli, Bengaluru, caused alarm among city police and the bomb disposal squad. The object, found on Saturday morning, featured a fuse wire but contained no explosive material like gunpowder. Authorities believe it was a deliberate act of mischief to incite public fear.
The discovery occurred as Bengaluru was under a heightened state of alert. This was due to a recent incident in Pulakeshinagar, where an improvised explosive device (IED) disguised as a parcel injured two individuals. Three men were subsequently arrested in connection with that explosion, with investigations pointing to personal enmities and financial disputes as motives.
