The incident took place a day before the 13th anniversary of the Mumbai serial bomb-blasts, which claimed 256 lives.
Although Mumbai police commissioner A N Roy said the device was “not complete in itself” to cause an explosion on human contact, what is worrying the law enforcing agencies is the similarity of the improvised explosive device with the bombs used in the temple town.
“The bag contained two kg of ammonium nitrate, concealed in a plastic water bottle, along with a pocket-size transformer that could have provided the necessary current if a detonator was to be attached to the explosive device,” Roy said.
