Nasik: A huge cache of explosives, including over 2,000 gelatin sticks and a number of detonators, was seized from a van in Nashik district of Maharashtra, police said on Monday.
The vehicle driver was arrested for allegedly carrying the explosives illegally, Jaykheda police station’s assistant police inspector Ganesh Gurav said.
The police intercepted the van at Chichali ghat near Mulher village on Sunday while it was on way to Gujarat from Maharashtra, he said.
