Probe intensifies after explosives recovered near PM’s convoy route

Explosive materials including gelatine sticks, batteries, wires, and a crude circuit-like assembly have been recovered near a route used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to Bengaluru. A multi-agency investigation has been launched into potential security threats, with officials examining whether the materials were intended to trigger a larger security scare or create panic. The materials were found in a cardboard box near the Bengaluru-Kanakapura highway, raising concerns about the possibility of an improvised explosive device.
