The officers of Commissioner's Task Force arrested V Yadaiah and P Jangaiah from I S Sadan area here and seized 530 gelatin sticks and 350 electric detonators, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police B Limba Reddy said.
During the interrogation Yadaiah confessed that he sold material to compressor holders and stone-cutting contractors, police claimed.
He procured the material illegally from a man called Veeraiah (who is absconding) and supplied them to others at a profit without obtaining any government permissions.
