Tiffin box leads to bomb squad visit

Hyderabad: Tension prevailed at Konaraopet mandal in Rajanna Sircilla after a steel tiffin box was found buried in the middle of an unpaved road. Bomb disposal squad opened it and found remains of a black chicken and lemons.

Forest officials noticed a tiffin box was buried and suspecting that it could be a land mine planted by Maoists, immediately alerted the village sarpanch, who in turn alerted the cops. “BD team scanned the area with metal detectors and then using a low intensity explosive, triggered a minor blast around the tiffin box,” Rajanna Sircilla SP Rahul Hegde said. “We suspect that someone who believes in black magic has buried the tiffin box,” the SP said.
