After suspicious explosive materials were allegedly found near Kaggalipura on the outskirts of Bengaluru, close to the route of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy, investigators have now reportedly recovered additional materials believed to be capable of triggering an explosion.
According to sources, police found not only gelatin sticks, but also an electronic circuit and equipment suspected to be meant for connecting detonators. The officials suspect that the circuit has a provision for fixing a date and time, raising concerns that it could have been intended for a timed blast.
Sources said that if detonators had been attached and the timer activated, the materials could potentially have caused an explosion. The recovery of these items near the route of the Prime Minister’s convoy has triggered suspicion over whether there was a larger conspiracy behind the incident.
Security agencies are also probing the source of the explosive materials.
