Two tiffin bombs were found in the Maoist- infested Sarguli area of Raighar block in the district on Sunday evening. Later, the bombs were defused.
Police said a local youth while passing through the road noticed two suspicious objects lying on the roadside near Saraguli village. He immediately informed the local police, who rushed to the spot and cordoned off the area and informed the bomb disposal squad.
The squad arrived at the spot on Monday morning and took the two bombs to a secluded place and defused them. While the
Raighar police have started an investigation to know who and under what circumstance left the bombs there.
The explosives are suspected to have been planted by Red rebels from neighbouring Chhattisgarh.
With the recovery of the bombs from the Raighar area, police suspected frequent movements of the Maoists in the area and have intensified combing operations.
