GUWAHATI: City police on Sunday arrested Abdul Savor, 38, a resident of Dhubri, with 480 gelatin sticks and 402 detonators from the Shantipur area.
Though police could not confirm if Abdul had links with any militant groups of the state, they suspected that he was brining the explosives for an illegal trade in stone quarries of neighbouring Meghalaya
Locals had a suspicion when Abdul was collecting some bags from under a culvert in the area and they alerted police who succeeded in nabbing him along with the explosives.
"Abdul purchased the explosives illegally and had planed to sell them to a few stone quarries in Meghalaya," said a senior police official.
Abdul said he was asked to deliver the explosives to stone quarries in Meghalaya for Rs 40,000.
