NIA Arrests Key Accused in Kerala Illegal Explosives Seizure Case · deccanchronicle.com

The National Investigation Agency, a special police team in India, has caught another person in a big case about dangerous explosives.

Explosives are materials that can cause a big blast, and these were being carried illegally.

Earlier this year, police found a truck full of nearly 90,000 explosive sticks and more than 10,000 shock tubes.

The truck was parked at a brick company in Malappuram, a place in Kerala.

The people involved did not have permission to keep or move the explosives.

The special team searched many places in three different states to find clues.

The newest arrested person is named Haris TA, and police say he planned the whole thing.

Now ten people connected to the case have been caught.

Police are still working to understand the full plan behind the illegal explosives.

They want to stop anyone else from moving dangerous explosives without permission.
