Madurai:: The police in Madurai have reportedly defused a bomb
sent in a parcel. According to a senior police officer, last night an
unidentified man had left a parcel at a jewellery shop that was to be
delivered to another person in the city.
This morning the police
were alerted when the parcel was found to contain a bomb that was
connected to a timer device, following which it was defused, said the
police officer.
The police have begun investigating who left the parcel and who was it meant for.
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was scheduled to
participate in a conference on the outskirts of the city today but his
programme was cancelled a few days ago.
Last October, a bomb was found on BJP leader L K Advani's route, under a bridge on the outskirts of the temple town.-NDTV-
