New Delhi: A bag believed to contain RDX – a highly explosive material – was recovered from the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi early this morning. The bag, a black-coloured trolley suitcase, was found near a pillar in the Arrivals area of Terminal 3 by a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) soldier at 12.56 am. Initial tests – conducted by EVD (explosive vapour detector) and a sniffer dog – have suggested it contains RDX. Authorities have said that a more definitive test can only be conducted after a 24-hour period; for now, the bag has been moved to a “cooling pit”.
According to a report by news agency PTI, sources have said the bag could contain an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).
However, the exact nature of the explosive is being ascertained, sources said. The explosive has been put under observation for the next 24 hours, only after which something certain about it could be said, they added.
