Hazaribagh Police has foiled Naxals plan of destruction by recovering and diffusing two powerful can bombs, each of more than 10 kgs, planted beneath a small bridge on Hazaribagh Chatra road.
The recovery has been made amid a band call given by ultras on Saturday in protest of Chauparan encounter took place early this week where the police have gunned down three rebels.
The Katkamsandi Police got information early morning that the ultras have planted can bombs beneath some bridges on busy Hazaribagh Chatra road with an intension to give heavy damage to the Police.
After getting this information SP Akhilesh Jha himself rushed to Katkamsandi with bomb disposal expert team. The search operation was started and about 11 am the team found the bombs planted under the Sirma spring bridge near Sahpur village.
The site is at the border of Hazaribagh and Chatra districts. Since the Hazaribagh – Katkamsandi – Chatra road is the shortest route so people prefer to travel through this.
