Gujarat Police seized a large consignment of explosives from a Bolero on the Rajkot-Gondal Highway, days before Independence Day. The Rajkot Crime Branch recovered 12,000 gelatin sticks weighing 1,500 kg, 4,000 detonators and 30 bundles of blasting wire. The material was being transported without the required licence or documents, police said. The vehicle’s driver, identified as Dola Mir, was arrested. During questioning, he allegedly named a supplier and a person who was supposed to receive the explosives. Both are currently absconding. Police said the explosives were allegedly meant for mining work. The Crime Branch is investigating their source and intended use.
