Five live bombs were found in the court premises at Rae Bareily in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday.

The bombs were found in front of the main gate of the district court. They had been placed in a bag that was tied to a bicycle.

Raja Ram, the person in whose possession these bombs were found has been detained by and is being questioned.

Police, however, maintain that it does not seem to be an attempt to carry out a terror attack, but is only security breach.

The breach comes when security had already been beefed up across Uttar Pradesh with heightened concerns in the wake of the November 23 serial blasts in courts and intelligence inputs about the temple towns becoming possible terror targets on December 6.

Some Hindu groups had declared December 06 as 8216;Victory day8217; while Muslim organisations are observing it as 8216;Ibadat8217; prayer and 8216;Black day8217;, due to which security forces are on high alert.
