Mumbai: Different chemical powders weighing 24kg seized from the
Nalasopara house of arrested gau rakshak and Sanathan Sanstha
sympathizer Vaibhav Raut are explosives and were enough to make 50-60 bombs.
The Anti-Terrorism Squad had seized 22 bombs, each
weighing 500-600g, from Raut’s house. Investigators are now focusing on
the larger terror conspiracy, and a senior IPS officer said the popular
Sunburn music festival, set to be held in November-December 2018, was
also in the crosshairs of the busted terror module.
The electronic dance music festival attended by
lakhs is held near Pune. The ATS had told the court that the group
planned to target the earlier edition of Sunburn, held on 28-31
December, 2017, as they consider it “anti-Hindu”, but developed cold
feet. The seized bombs were assembled a month before the Sunburn fest
last December, said a source.
