The cops then alerted Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), which dismantled the device brought in by Pagare. A senior Police officer said that the bomb wouldn't have exploded or caused any damage and the man had filled a plastic box with some gunpowder used for making crackers.
When questioned by the cops, Pagare said he found a bomb at a desolate place near his house and had come to hand it to the Police. The cops got suspicious about his statement. However, Pagare soon spilled the beans and confessed to making the bomb and lied fearing that he would get caught.
The cops said that Pagare had been staying alone at rented places after losing both parents. Pagare, who worked at a saloon, had to shift frequently since he was not able to pay rent. Pagare was remanded to police custody for two days by the court.
