One held, explosive material seized

BERHAMPUR: One Ladi Dharma Rao was arrested from Paralakhemundi in Gajapati district on Sunday by a police team from Rayagada district on the charges that he was supplying explosive material to naxalites.

The police team seized more than four quintals of chemicals used to manufacture explosives from the house of Rao at Bhabani Talkies Street at Paralakhemundi.

According to Rayagada SP Anup Krishna, the team tracked down Rao after arresting a trader at Gudari who was involved in illegal storage and supply of explosive chemicals. Although Rao had an explosive license to trade in explosive chemicals, most of his stock was suspected to reach the Maoists.
