Five arrested with bomb-making material in Maheshtala, one accused linked to RSS

In a high-intensity follow-up to the recent unrest in Metiabruz and surrounding areas, police have arrested five individuals from Maheshtala after recovering a large cache of bomb-making material. Among those arrested, one is reportedly associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which has ignited political controversy and questions about extremist activities under the radar.

The operation, carried out amid tight security, uncovered a stash of raw explosives, triggering devices, and other materials typically used in crude bombs. Investigators believe the arrested individuals were possibly part of a larger network that could extend beyond district boundaries.

The involvement of a person linked to a major national organisation like the RSS has added a new layer of sensitivity to the case. Political parties are reacting sharply, demanding clarity from both the police and the state government on how such operations went undetected.

The police have assured that the investigation is being taken to its logical end, with more arrests likely as they trace connections and funding routes of the bomb-making racket. Security has been heightened in nearby regions to prevent any retaliatory incidents.
