A man from Kalasa was arrested on Tuesday for illegal storage of explosives.
Based on accurate information, Kalasa police raided a house in Gorimakki and arrested the owner of the house, Abdul Aziz (45).
Superintendent of Police Harish Pande said that 14 gelatin sticks and 40 detonators have been found.
