Introduction

Murshidabad, West Bengal — Updated: [Today’s Date]

A major security operation in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district stunned authorities and locals after the police recovered nearly 150 crude bombs from a hidden spot in a residential locality.

According to officials, the police received a tip-off that suspicious activities were taking place in the area. A special team, along with the bomb disposal squad and a sniffer dog unit, was immediately sent to the location. During the search, officers discovered multiple bags buried under dense vegetation and rubble.

The bags contained:

• More than 150 crude country-made bombs
• Bomb-making materials and fuse wires

All explosives were collected and safely neutralized on the spot.

Police on High Alert After Recovery

The bomb disposal team handled the devices carefully and destroyed them in a controlled blast. After the operation, police increased patrolling in sensitive areas nearby.

A senior officer, who led the operation, said:

“The bombs have been defused. We have started an investigation to find out who manufactured them and why. Several people are being questioned.”

Investigation Focus: Who Is Behind This?

The police suspect that the bombs may have been stored for illegal activities, possible clashes, or to create disturbance during political events. Investigators are now checking:

• Local CCTV footage
• Call records of suspects

Local people say they had no idea that such a large quantity of bombs was hidden so close to their homes.

The police department has requested that citizens report any suspicious activity immediately.

“Public cooperation is essential. One alert citizen can prevent a tragedy,”
the officer added.

Conclusion

The recovery of 150 bombs from Murshidabad has raised serious security concerns. While the explosives have been disposed of safely, the investigation to identify the people behind this stockpile is still underway. More arrests may follow as the probe progresses.
