According to Uma Prasad Chaturbedi, Superintendent of Police (SP) at Siraha District Police Office, NA’s Sherdal Battalion based in Choharwa disposed the bomb found at the bank of Kamala River.
The improvised explosive device (IED) was found by labourers who work with sand and gravels at the river bank. The workers immediately informed the police about the suspicious object at around 8: 30 am.
The old and rusty bomb found at the site might have been carried by the river rather than someone intentionally placing it at the riverbank, said Sub-Inspector (SI) Ajit Kumar Pandey at Bandipur-based police post.
The bomb was successfully detonated by the bomb squad team of Sher Batallion under the command of Captain Shri Krishna Adhikari.
Meanwhile, further investigation into the case is underway, said SI AK Paney.
