EXPLOSIVE HAUL: A police officer carrying the bag containing explosives and other objectionable material at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai on Wednesday.
MUMBAI: Eight kg of RDX, fitted with a timer, was found near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) here a little after 6-15 on Wednesday evening by the bomb detection and disposal squad.
Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh had visited the station between 5-30 p.m. and 6 p.m.
“The RDX was recovered from a room near the CST where a lot of luggage left behind by passengers in last Wednesday’s attacks was stored. Many people came to claim the luggage. Today our workers while moving the luggage saw a haversack. Since it was heavy, they got suspicious. We called the bomb squad and they defused the explosive device,” said Railway Police Commissioner A. K. Sharma, adding that they believed the RDX was planted by the terrorists who attacked the station exactly a week ago.
In two sets
Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said the explosives were in two sets of 4 kg each.
With the latest find, the number of bombs planted by the attackers has gone up to six. Two bombs were planted under the front seats of two taxis and one went off in Ville Parle and the other in Byculla at 10-45 p.m. and 10-47 p.m. respectively.
One bomb exploded at the Trident-Oberoi while two explosives, found at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel and between the Taj and Leopold Café did not explode.
Mr. Maria said the arrested terrorist had confessed that he and his partner Mohammad Ismail planted the bomb that exploded in Byculla.
