The bombs were stored in cylindrical steel boxes and connected to LPG cylinders, iron pipes and detonators. “The bomb disposal squad (from Bangalore) has reached the spot. It will take some time to defuse them,” DGP Mr R Srikumar said.

The villagers called the Jeevan Raksha police station when they discovered these cylindrical steel boxes. The policemen cordoned off the highway and stopped vehicles from driving over the culvert, where the bombs were found. Soon sniffer dogs were also deployed around the area to spot more explosives in the region.
