In the police investigation, it has been unveiled that a twelfth passed student working as an electrician planted this IED to teach a lesson to his friend, informed Aurangabad rural police SP Manish Kalwaniya in a press conference on Sunday.

An IED was found in an empty mobile phone box opposite a furniture shop on the main road of Kannad city on June 9.

Based on the substantial and technical evidence, the police arrested Rameshwar Dnyaneshwar Mokase (26, Mhada Colony, Kannad) on suspicion. Rameshwar worked as an electrician and works at New Swaraj Electrical and Ruddra Refrigeration Shop on Hiwarkheda Road.

During interrogation, he gave unconvincing answers due to which the suspicion on him deepened.

When the police implied strict tactics, Rameshwar confessed that he had planted the IED. He said, Rameshwar owned some money to his friend Dinesh Rajguru (Shantinagar, Kannad) but he was ignoring to return it. He also asked Dinesh’s cousin Kiran Rajguru to convince him to return his money, but in vain. Aggrieved over it, he decided to teach Dinesh a lesson and prepared an IED. He planted it in front of a Kiran’s shop with the intention of sabotage, Rameshwar confessed during interrogation.

He was produced before the court and has been remanded in the police custody till June 16, Kalwaniya said.
