Nagpur: The Amin Explosives factory in Nagpur bears a deserted look. The gates are shut, and visitors are clearly not welcome.
The Hyderabad Police say this factory could be the source of the explosives used in Saturday's blasts.
A CNN-IBN reached the Amin Explosives factor and tried contacting the management of the company but no one there was answering any questions. Meanwhile, the Hyderabad Police say they have definite clues that Neogel 90 -- an ammonium nitrate based explosive used in the Hyderabad blasts -- was manufactured at the factory.
The guards at the gates even seemed hesitant to admit that it was an explosives factory.
"There's no farmhouse here. There's a godown. I don't know what's made here," says an employee at the factory, Pramod.
Nagpur is a hub of explosives manufacturers, but of late, the explosives produced here have been finding their way into the wrong hands.
Just two months ago, the Nagpur rural police arrested five people and recovered a large amount of ammonium-nitrate based explosives. The Nagpur Police even admits that a big consignment of ammonium nitrate was sent to Hyderabad twice recently.
Says Nagpur Police Commissioner, Satyapal Singh, "Two consignments were send to Hyderabad's Rajshree Chemicals twice."
It's not just this link which is giving sleepless nights to the local police. A Nagpur link has come to light in several other cases, like the Malegaon blasts.
Police are worried that terror outfits are now beginning to use substances that can be easily obtained from local manufacturers.
