New Delhi: On the 77th Republic Day Eve, the Rajasthan police seized a massive haul of explosives from a farm and arrested a man also in connection with the incident, officials stated on Sunday.

Rajasthan Police were tipped off on Saturday night, and they responded with a raid in Harsaur village, where 9,550 kg of ammonium nitrate packed in 187 sacks was recovered from a field, Nagaur Superintendent of Police Mridul Kachhawa said.

Why is this haul of explosives recovery a major ahead of Republic Day?  The same ammonium nitrate has been linked with major blasts, including the Red Fort, Delhi, blast in November 2025.

A man identified as Suleman Khan was arrested on the spot. According to the SP, three criminal cases have been registered against him.
