Police on Monday recovered four packets of explosive material near the farmhouse of former military ruler General (r) Pervez Musharraf.
The explosives were found attached to an electricity pole on a green belt on Park Road. Each packet contained one kilogramme of explosive material.
Police personnel recovered the packets and immediately summoned the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS).
BDS personnel defused the explosives and shifted them to Bani Gala Police Station. They said that a probe into the homemade explosives was underway.
Earlier on Dec 24, police had discovered five kilogrammes of explosive material, weapons and ammunition close to the route that Musharraf was due to take from his house to the court.
Meanwhile, earlier this year in April, 45 kilogrammes of explosives had been discovered in a car abandoned near Musharraf’s farmhouse when he was being taken back there after his appearance in an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi.
