According to the police, banned firecrackers such as shells, crackers, and chocolate bombs were recovered from three nylon sacks and 25 cardboard boxes, weighing approximately 600 kilograms in total. During interrogation, Zeeshan revealed that he had purchased these firecrackers to transport them to Asansol in the Paschim Bardhaman district.
Kolkata Police has registered a case at the Maidan Police Station under Section 9(B) of the Indian Explosives Act and Section 61(2)/223 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The seized items have been secured after legal formalities.
The police stated that by October 17, 1,315 kilograms of illegal firecrackers were seized from the Patuli, Dhalai Bridge, and Garia Crossing areas, and 36 kilograms from Bandhanghat. A senior official said, "We are conducting raids and awareness campaigns across the city to prevent the illegal sale and use of banned firecrackers."
On Friday, Kolkata Police issued strict guidelines for Diwali and Kali Puja, permitting the use of only eco-friendly green crackers. Under the guidelines, considering pollution and public safety, green crackers will be allowed to be burst for only two hours, from 8 PM to 10 PM on October 20.
This action comes after a reprimand from the Calcutta High Court, which questioned the government about its preparations to ban firecrackers. Following this, the police increased surveillance and began monitoring high rooftops and narrow lanes with the help of drones to curb the sale and use of banned firecrackers.
