Explosives and ammunitions were found at Red Fort on Sunday during a cleaning operation by the ASI. The matter was reported to the police on Monday morning and the monument has beem cordoned off, with bomb squads and police teams on the spot.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Jatin Narwal said some ammunutions and explosive boxes were discovered in one of the wells behind the Publication building.
It is learnt that the team could not identify the objects initially but later grew suspicious of it and informed the matter to the police.
"Police after cordoning the area immediately informed the NSG and Army. NSG Bomb disposal teams are also at the spot," said Mr. Narwal.
The police suspect these explosives are from the colonial era and not a security breach. Investigations are on, they said.
