Police today recovered 15 to 20 live bombs stacked in two bags and about 7 sharp weapons from a CPI-M party office in Benachitty market area of the steel town today.

Police said several sharp weapons were also recovered during the raid which was launched following a tip off.

The bombs were later defused, the police said adding none was detained or arrested in connection with the incident so far.

CPI-M zonal secretary Pankaj Roy Sarkar ruled out the party's involvement in the storing of bombs and weapons in its office and said it was a conspiracy to defame the party.
 

Prabhat Chatterje, local INTTUC leader said efforts were on by the leftist party to create fear in the minds of the people.
