Bomb Scare in North Kerala: Two More Explosive Devices Found

Two more bombs were discovered in an uninhabited property in North Kerala, days after an elderly man died in a bomb explosion. The discovery sparked political controversy as opposition parties blamed the ruling CPI(M) for irresponsibly handling explosives in the area.

Days after an elderly man died in a bomb explosion, two more explosive devices were discovered on an uninhabited property in the politically unstable North Kerala district on Saturday, police confirmed.

During a search in the area, authorities recovered two steel bombs, typically regarded as crude explosives, on a property located on Ambilad road in Kuthuparamba.

Investigations are underway to determine how such dangerous devices were stored at this location, police reported.

The death of 86-year-old Velayudhan from a bomb explosion near Thalassery on June 18 ignited significant political controversy. The opposition Congress and BJP accused the ruling CPI(M) of negligently manufacturing and storing explosives in uninhabited homes and properties in Kannur.

The elderly man met his tragic demise while attempting to open the bomb he had picked up from an uninhabited property where he was collecting coconuts, according to police statements.

In a recent state assembly session, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan acknowledged the frequent bomb blast incidents in the northern district and pledged more intensive police investigations.
