Police recovered an object suspected to be a pipe bomb from the campus of a retail unit in Uthangudi, nearly a kilometre away from the campus of the Madurai bench of Madras high court on Tuesday evening. The large pipe, 1.5-feet long with a diameter of 12cm, had a wire about three feet long sticking out and weighed 3.75 kg. Had it "exploded" it would have caused damages within one km radius, said sources within the bomb detection and disposal squad.
However, Vijayendra S Bidari, who took over as superintendent of police, Madurai district, on Tuesday refused to confirm the suspicion that the object discovered is a pipe bomb. He said a comment on the nature of the object would have to wait till investigation was completed. "The object has been removed to a safe location, away from human habitation. Investigation is on. There is no confirmation yet on the kind of object. It is too early to say anything," he said.
Police personnel removed the object to a secluded place soon after it was found and sources in the police department said the "bomb" would be dismantled in a quarry in Puthuthamaraipatti on Wednesday.
Police said one of the employees of the shop discovered the suspicious object and informed them at around 4pm. The commercial area was crowded then. Bomb detection and disposal squad rushed to the spot and "confirmed" that it was a pipe bomb, a police source said. All employees were asked to leave the shop premises. Officials from various police departments including the dog squad inspected the area.
Police sources said the "pipe bomb" was very similar to the one recently recovered from the vicinity of the residence of Union minister V Narayanasamy in Puducherry.
Othakadai police is investigating the case as of now.
Pipe bombs of low intensity have been found at various places in Madurai in the past couple of years.
