The Soladevanahalli police arrested a construction labourer and recovered huge amounts of explosive material which he had stored in his house to blast stones.
Based on a tip-off, a team raided the house of Seenappa, 40, in Raghavendra Layout at Hesaraghatta, who used to work as a stone crusher and stored the explosive material in a gunny bag and kept under the cot.
The accused said that he sourced the material in the open market and would sell it to the people in the quarry to blast stones.
