Security forces Wednesday recovered 15 pressure cooker bombs allegedly planted by outlawed CPI (Maoists) from Karemango Pahar area in Saraikela-Kharsawan district, police said.
“Based on intelligence inputs, a joint team of the district police and members of 57 CRPF battalion conducted a search operation in the area and found 15 pressure cooker bombs planted on a forested track around 1.5 km west of Karemango Pahar area,” said an official.
Police said all bombs were defused by the bomb disposal squad at the location itself.
On January 5 this year, two policemen guarding a former BJP legislator were killed by Maoists and another injured in neighbouring West Singhbhum district. The former legislator, though, escaped.
