Breaking: 70 Socket Bombs Seized in Murshidabad; Police Seal Area After Major Recovery

The explosives were found stored inside three plastic containers in Kupila Biswas Para, a locality that has witnessed sporadic political tension in recent months.Exclusive visuals accessed from the spot show multiple crude bombs tightly packed and hidden in plastic boxes, indicating the possibility of organized illegal activity. Following the discovery, police immediately cordoned off the entire area and sealed the locality to prevent any movement around the site.

Security has been intensified, and additional forces have been deployed to ensure no further explosives are hidden in nearby pockets.The police have confirmed that a high-level probe is underway, and more arrests or recoveries cannot be ruled out.
