Bangalore/Thiruvanathapuram, March 22: Police are looking into the “security lapses” in connection with the crude explosive material detected in the cargo hold of the Kingfisher airline but said the object was not of high density though it could have exploded due to air pressure.
Police teams from the city and Thiruvananthapuram engaged in investigations said they were focusing their attention on “security lapses”.
“We have not chanced upon any leads so far,” Bangalore City Deputy Commissioner of Police (North-East Division) Basavaraj Malagatti told PTI, even as a police official said in Thiruvananthapuram “we are collecting all the details from both the airports for analysis”.
The investigation would look into all aspects including on how the explosive material made its way into the cargo hold, the source from where it was procured, the official said in Thiruvananthapuram.
