Gaya, 100 km from here, is considered a Maoist stronghold.
Last week, a joint team of the state police and the Central Reserve Police Force had seized a large quantity of explosives from a Maoist hideout in a forest in state's Jamui district.
They seized about 100 kg ammonium nitrate contained in three sacks, nine LPG cylinders, two IEDs, and two packets of Powergel -- a range of explosive products used by the mining industry around the world.
