“After conducting raids at his residence following a tip-off, the police team has found 10 crude bombs and the person (by the name Sahazad) has been arrested,” said Sudhir Sinha, police commissioner of Ahmedabad.

The police were trying to find out if the arrested person had links with any militant outfit in the state, he added.

City police sources said the raid at Sahazad’s house was carried out after his wife informed the control room early morning that her husband had bombs.

Besides Sahazad’s arrest, the police have detained some more persons and are interrogating them in this connection.
