Lucknow : Two people were arrested in Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur district and 200 kg of explosives besides Maoist literature were recovered from them, the police said Tuesday.
Sharda and Navin Chaudhary, both natives of Uttar Pradesh’s Sonebhadra district, were arrested late Monday night from Dhadiram locality in Mirzapur district, 300 km from here.
“They were carrying the explosive, ammonium nitrate, without any proper documents,” inspector Paras Nath Singh told IANS on phone.
