Around 25 tiffin bombs and cane bombs have been recovered by police in a forest in Jharkhand’s Latehar district, officials said.

Based on a tip-off, a police team reached the spot near Barwaia Kalan village with a bomb disposal squad and defused the explosives on Friday, they said.

A senior police officer said there was also information that members of a militant outfit were present in the forest, and investigation is under way.
