A bomb disposal team of the Nepal Army has defused a pressure cooker bomb planted at Ncell tower, on the roof of Sallaghari-based garment factory, today. The pressure cooker bomb was kept in a sack. The NA bomb disposal team defused the bomb after an effort of two hours. Deputy Superintendent of Police at the Bhaktapur Metropolitan Police Range, Krishna Prasain, said that investigation into the case was underway. Vehicular movement via Araniko highway was stopped for two hours following the incident. Similarly, an unidentified group exploded an improvised explosive device (IED) at Ncell tower in Sudal of Changunarayan Municipality on Tuesday night. Prasain said that some materials including Ncell tower battery were damaged in the incident. सल्लाघारीमा रहेको एनसेल टावरमा राखिएको प्रेसरकुकर ‘बम’ नेपाली सेनाको टोलीले निष्क्रिय बनाएको छ । गार्मेन्ट रहेको एक भवनको छतमा एनसेलको टावर थियो । त्यहीँ छतमा शंकास्पद वस्तु भेटिएपछि नेपाली सेनाको बम डिस्फोजल टोली पुगेको थियो । सेनाको टोलीले बोरामा प्याक गरिएको प्रेसरकुकर बरामद गरेको छ । यो भवनमा सुरक्षा गार्डहरु पनि छन् । तर, छतमा रहेको टावरसम्म पुगेर कसरी शंकास्पद वस्तु राख्यो भन्ने शंकास्पद रहेको प्रहरीले बताएको छ ।
