"Following a search at his house we recovered some low intensive explosives--potassium nitrate, aluminium powder, charcoal, sulphur-- used in making country bombs," state police chief C Sylendra Babu said.
The Tamil Nadu police on Sunday recovered "low-intensive explosive material" from the house of a man killed in a cylinder explosion in a car here and said material like potassium nitrate that were seized were meant for "future" use.
Hours after the incident occurred early today, state police chief C Sylendra Babu said there has been "good progress" in the probe and stated that the possibility of a National Investigation Agency (NIA) inquiry into the matter will be known after the conclusion of the investigation.
The man was identified as Jemisha Mubeen, 25, had been earlier enquired by the NIA but there has been no case against him nor has there been any "adverse notice," the top official said.
Mubeen was charred to death when a gas cylinder in a car in which he was travelling exploded in a communally sensitive area in the city this morning, prompting the state's top cop to rush here and take stock of the situation.
