Police on Friday seized low-intensity explosives from two unclaimed bags in a Karnataka Road Transport Corporation bus coming from Hyderabad near the Karnataka-Telangana border, about 18 km from Raichur.
Acting on an anonymous call that two boxes of new currency notes of ₹ 2,000 were being transported in the bus, police conducted a search.
They found the two unclaimed bags which contained explosives, not currency notes, said Raichur Superintendent of Police Chetan Singh Rathod.
Timer not functioning
The explosives were connected to a timer through a wire. The timer was not functioning. Mr. Rathod said the bomb squad from Kalaburagi defused the explosives. A case had been registered with the Shakthinagar police and three teams of senior officials formed to investigate the incident.
