The bomb detected as a remote-controlled IED by Manipur Police Bomb Detection Disposal Squad (BDDS) was safely disarmed by the team.
According to the source, the office remained closed yesterday due to the statewide bandh.
After receiving the information, the Imphal West District Police team spotted an item suspected to be a bomb wrapped in black polythene inside the office premises at 6 pm.
