However this time, Police have recovered an improvised explosive device (IED) and suspect it to be an attempt to eliminate Vikas. The explosive connected to a camera flash was found in an abandoned bag in the backyard of a house belonging to Bansode. Luckily it was discovered by a guard of the Supreme court advocate.
A report in Indian Express says that Police are investigating in the angle if Gali tried to eliminate Vikas. The Supreme Court lawyer earlier used to have Z-plus security owing to the threat from the mining mafia but later it was reduced to a group of six armed guards round-the-clock. Local police made sure that Vikas left to Hyderabad in safety.
