The Thiruvananthapuram Rural police raided the suspected godowns of Adarsh, the contractor who supplied the firecrackers for the temple festival in Thripunithura, where a blast that ripped through a storage unit claimed one life and left several people injured on Monday.
The Pothencode police inspected two houses that purportedly functioned as unauthorised godowns for firecrackers in Madavoorpara near Kattaikonam.
Adarsh, who suffered grievous injuries in the blast, had accompanied the group that included the deceased Ulloor native Vishnu to Thripunithura to supply the firecrackers.
