US EditionExplosive Seizure Shakes Rajasthan: A Pre-Republic Day Alert
- On Sunday, January 25, 2026, Nagaur police seized 9,550 kg of ammonium nitrate packed in 187 sacks from a field in Harsaur village and arrested Suleman Khan, accused, ahead of Republic Day.
- Acting on a tip-off, police said intelligence inputs prompted the operation after ammonium nitrate's use in major blasts, including the November 2025 Red Fort explosion.
- Seized items included nine cartons of detonators, 12 cartons and 15 bundles of blue fuse wire, and 12 cartons and five bundles of red fuse wire, with a case registered under the Explosives Act.
- A wider probe now involves central agencies and local investigations, with Suleman Khan, accused, allegedly supplying explosives to legal and illegal mining activities and having three cases registered at Thanvla, Padukallan, and Alwar's Chaupasni.
- The scale of the Nagaur recovery dwarfs earlier regional seizures such as Tonk's 150 kg stop, as a special team of Nagaur police raided the accused's Thanvla residence and found a huge amount of explosives.
