Jaipur: About 300 tonnes of explosives sent from a Rajasthan-based factory have gone missing on their way to Sagar district in Madhya Pradesh, police said on Friday.
Sagar IG Anvesh Manglam said 61 trucks carrying the explosives were sent from Rajasthan Explosives and Chemicals Limited (RECL) in Dholpur to a trading company in Sagar. The explosives were sent over a period of four months between April to July.
MP police and RECL are still clueless about the location of the missing explosive consignments. However, MP police after preliminary investigation is saying that the explosive have been sold to private firms in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
The explosives were worth Rs 1.40 crore.
Manglam said the last consignment was to reach Sagar four days back but there was no trace of the vehicle or the missing explosives.
He said there was a possibility that the explosives may have fallen into wrong hands. Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Uma Shankar Gupta said investigations were on and efforts were being made to locate the missing trucks.
"Four police teams had been sent to Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra to trace them," he said.
