Demand to investigate suspected role of drug traffickers and smugglers’ rackets in explosive materials trade
Despite a thorough spot inspection with the support of bomb squad and forensic experts, the police are yet to get any hopeful lead into the unearthing of eight powerful steel bombs from Avolam village at Nadapuram in Kerala’s Kozhikode district last Tuesday. The bombs, found buried under the soil on a private field, were reportedly very powerful and newly made, allegedly to attack political rivals. Incidentally, there were a series of attacks on houses using crude bombs in the last two weeks. In the wake of the unearthing of bombs, a few youth organisations had called upon the police to investigate the suspected role of drug traffickers and smugglers’ rackets in explosive materials trade. They alleged that investigations into such incidents were casual, with the police failing to make headway in probes.More Related News
