After inspection by the bomb detection and disposal team, it became clear that these explosives could be safely diffused. Therefore, on Thursday afternoon, the area was cleared and explosives were detonated in the two-wheeler and it was destroyed. In Gajanan Housing Society near Karhad early on Monday morning, thieves tried to break the ATM by exploding gelatin. 

Three thieves had escaped after attacking the police. One was detained by the police. Also, the explosives planted by the thieves in the ATM were detonated on the spot. The police are still searching for the three thieves who attacked the police and fled. An abandoned two-wheeler was found in a deserted place in Karwadi on Wednesday night. The police were convinced that the concerned two-wheeler belonged to the accused in ATM theft. 

However, as there were explosives in the trunk of the bike, the police kept the bike there. The police guarded the place throughout the night.
