IMPHAL, Nov 7[sangaiexpress]--- Police bomb experts safely retrieved a hand grenade from an Imphal-Guwahati passenger carrier from North AOC this morning.
At around 9.45 am the bomb experts recovered the explosive device from underneath Seat No. 21 of the passenger bus, said to be operating under Network Travels travel agency.
It is said that a passenger grew suspicious after spotting an unclaimed item wrapped in plastic bags of eatables (Potato Crackers) and passed the information to persons manning the travel agency, who subsequently contacted the police.
The police team led by Imphal West police station Officer in-charge Shantikumar also carried out further search of the said bus after off-loading belongings of the passengers.
Reacting sharply against the discovery of the hand-grenade in the bus, a passenger urging all concerned to refrain from such undesired act in the future, said that many innocent people might have been killed in case the bomb exploded.
The passenger also reminded that many students and children travel on public carriers.
