Police yet to find criminal intent behind transporting explosives

The Government Railway Police (GRP) squad investigating the recent seizure of explosive materials from a train is yet to find any criminal intention behind the shipping of the banned materials by a Tamil Nadu woman who was arrested in connection with the incident. Though the police checked her whereabouts in detail after visiting her hometown in Tamil Nadu and the temporary workplace at Thalassery as part of the first round of investigation, they could not collect any incriminating evidence. The arrested woman, Ramani, had said that she brought the huge cache of gelatine sticks and detonators for carrying out well-digging works along with other workers in Thalassery. Showing some photos of the ongoing work, she had also claimed that local residents in her temporary workplace were all aware of her job.
