ANANTAPUR: Anantapur police have
arrested a person, hailing from Kerala, for carrying explosive
material in "Prasanthi Nilayam" of Satya Sai Baba at
Puttaparthi.
The man, identified as Rajappa (48), was on
Wednesday found carrying two detonators and a fuse wire on his
person, Puttaparthi DSP Venkat Reddy told reporters here on
Thursday.
Reddy said the man was found roaming suspiciously
in the Nilayam by Seva Dal volunteers, who caught him and handed
him over to police.
Police say they contacted Prof. Mukud,
Seva Dal chief of Kerala, asking him to ascertain the antecedents
of the arrested person. Prof. Mukud after inquiry informed
Puttaparthy police that Rajappa was an "unsound
man".
Later, police produced Rajappa before the Magistrate
at Penukonda, who directed police to send Rajappa to the mental
hospital at Yerragadda in Hyderabad for
examination.
Meanwhile, security in and outside the Nilayam
has been strengthened, the DSP said.
