Four powerful improvised explosive devices(IED) planted close to a polling station in Bihar’s Vaishali district, about 40 km from Patna, where polling is scheduled on May 12, were recovered by Bihar police on Tuesday.
Vaishali Superintendent of Police Suresh Prasad Chaudhary said the IEDs were kept inside steel cans and planted around 200 metres away from the Government Middle School at Hussaina Raghav village, which houses a polling station.
“These are powerful explosive devices. Bomb disposal squad has been dispatched to the site to defuse them. Our men are investigating the matter,” he said.
