The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) conducted a fresh search operation in a forest area in Pune, assisted by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), which led to the recovery of various chemicals used for making bombs and laboratory equipment necessary for conducting tests, the ATS said in an official statement.

The prime suspect in the case—Mohammed Imran Mohammed Yusuf Khan—disclosed the location in Pune’s forest area, prompting the ATS to initiate the search operation in collaboration with the BDDS, which ultimately led to the seizure of different chemicals involved in the manufacturing of explosives and laboratory equipment.
