In the backdrop of alleged involvement of a ‘Ranchi module’ of Indian Mujahideen in the October 27 serial blasts near a BJP rally in Patna, police on Monday recovered nine live bombs matching those found in Patna, from a lodge at Ranchi.
Police also seized 19 gelatin sticks and two clocks fitted to the bombs, Inspector General of Police (Zonal) MS Bhatia said. Each bomb consisted of three pipe elbows. The explosives were recovered from a booked room in the lodge. The recovery of the bombs comes close on the heels of the arrest of Ujjair Ahmad from Doranda locality here on October 30 in connection with the Patna serial blasts.
