Imphal, April 24: Even as the audacious bomb attack at Babupara sent the State Government in a tizzy , police fortunately detected a bomb loaded on an abandoned rickshaw near the southern wall of Mapal Kangjeibung today evening.

The bomb found near the southern gate of polo ground just next to the main gate was discovered by a police team led by DSP (CID) at about 2 pm, just 30 minutes before Governor Dr SS Sidhu's arrival at the ground to grace the final match of the Governor's Cup Invitation Polo Tournament as chief guest.

The final match of the polo tournament was played unaffected with the Governor as chief guest.

The bomb contained gelatin sticks, fuse, a radio transistor of Sony and remote control devices.

Bomb experts have retrieved the bomb safely.

The rickshaw on which the bomb was found had its number plate blackened by used mobil oil.

When the police erased the oil, it was found painted with the numbers 7442 .

Just about ten minutes before the discovery of the bomb, police commandos were frisking passers-by in Paona Bazar.

Following the discovery, all the vehicles parked behind pologround were shifted.

A late report informed that police commandos have been making a thorough search outside the compound wall of the Raj Bhavan for any possible explosive planted in the surrounding area of the Raj Bhavan.

Meanwhile, the MPCC has strongly condemned the bomb blast at Babupara and planting of bombs in public places.
