The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), which is currently investigating the Nalasopara arms haul, stumbled upon a secret room inside the house of arrested accused Vaibhav Raut, soon after his arrest. According to a police officer, when ATS raided Raut's home in Nalasopara again on August 11 — a day after he was held — they found and seized one laptop, two CPUs, four airguns, 20 boxes of airgun bullets, two notebooks, one diary, one mobile phone, three SIM cards and two other papers.
The cops also seized an Innova that was parked in Raut's premises. The alleged right-wing activist had been arrested on August 10. On that day, ATS recovered eight live bombs from Raut's home.
