According to the police, the bombs were seized on April 10, 2023, at an abandoned plot at Metro Vihar area in Holambi Kalan (Archive)More than two years after 10 country-made bombs were seized at an abandoned plot in Outer Delhi’s Holambi Kalan area, the bombs were finally disposed of on Sunday, said police.
“The Bomb Disposal Squad and the National Security Guard (NSG) carried out proper inspection and neutralisation procedures as per the established safety protocols and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and all 10 country-made bombs were disposed of for the purpose of further investigation and necessary action,” DCP (Outer North) Hareshwar Swami said.
Apart from the teams from the NSG, Bomb Disposal Squad, FSL (Rohini) teams had also come at the spot where the bombs were buried after a letter was sent by the police for the disposal of the bombs.
According to the police, the bombs were seized on April 10, 2023, at an abandoned plot at Metro Vihar area in Holambi Kalan. The police had received a tip-off that a man named Deepak, 33, was in possession of country-made grenades.
Deepak was apprehended the same night, and led the police to the plot where he had hidden a grey bucket, filled with 10 country-made bombs. “Deepak told the police that he was given the bucket about 10 days back by his neighbour, who asked him to keep it safe for some money,” a police officer said.
The neighbour, along with two more suspects were arrested by the police and are currently undergoing trial, a police official said. Deepak was released late.
A case was registered under the Explosives act and section 286 of the Indian Penal Code at Narela Industrial Area police station in April 2023.
“The bombs were disposed of after the officials felt that the probe had reached a level where the explosives may no longer be needed for an investigation,” the officer added.
