A shocking incident in Jeeda village, Punjab, has brought to light the operation of an illicit bomb laboratory by a 19-year-old law student. The teenager, who lost his arm in an accidental blast while handling chemicals in September, misled his family by claiming he was making fertilizer. Investigations reveal that the youth had been procuring chemicals since June-July to manufacture 5-7 types of explosives.
According to reports, the teenager did not receive deliveries of chemicals at home; instead, he had them delivered to a public place in the village. The incident has raised serious concerns among investigators about the potential threat to public safety posed by such illegal activities. The police suspect that the youth’s actions were part of a larger conspiracy, given the fact that a 19-year-old with no apparent background in handling dangerous substances was attempting to manufacture explosives.
The aftermath of the blast saw the youth’s father trying to sanitize the house for 10 days. The incident highlights the dangers of unchecked access to chemicals for making explosives and the potential risks to innocent lives. The police and government are taking serious note of such illegal activities, emphasizing the need for stringent measures to prevent misuse of chemicals and ensure public safety [1].
The incident underscores the gravity of such illicit operations and the importance of vigilance by authorities to prevent harm to the community.
