The Rajasthan Police on Wednesday seized 150 kg of ammonium nitrate, used as an ingredient in industrial explosives, along with 200 cartridges and six bundles of safety fuse wire from a car on New Year’s eve in Tonk district. Two persons allegedly transporting the consignment were arrested.

The seizure of the massive haul by the District Special Team (DST) may have thwarted a terror conspiracy and averted a disaster during the New Year’s celebrations. Investigative agencies were working to determine the purpose for which the consignment was intended to be used, including for blasting at illegal mining sites in the Aravalli hills.
