During a search operation in Nagobaar forest, Bihar police recovered about five kilograms of command‑controlled IEDs, disrupting a major Naxal plan in the Lutuha area of Gaya district.
Security forces operating in the Naxal‑affected Lutuha police‑station area of Gaya district announced the seizure of a substantial cache of improvised explosive devices. The operation, carried out in Nagobaar forest, uncovered roughly five kilograms of IEDs equipped with command‑detonation mechanisms that had been concealed underground.
According to officials, the devices were part of a planned attack that the insurgents intended to launch once the area was declared free of Naxal influence. The timely discovery prevented potential casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure.
The police have launched a detailed investigation to trace the source of the explosives and identify the individuals involved. The incident underscores the continued vigilance required in regions that have historically been vulnerable to Naxal activity.
No injuries or casualties were reported during the operation, and the seized material has been handed over to the bomb disposal unit for safe disposal.
