A big conspiracy (AK-47 in Raigarh Beach) has been detected in Raigarh, Maharashtra. AK-47 rifles and explosives have been recovered from two suspicious boats here. Gelatin sticks, three AK-47 rifles and cartridges were also found on these boats. According to the police, two suspicious boats were found on the Harihareshwar beach of the district, on which these AK-47s were kept.

Police and security agencies are investigating whether it was a preparation for a major terrorist attack.

A total of two boats have been recovered from the spot. First on Harihareshwar beach of Shrivardhan tehsil and second on the banks of Bharan Khol. Of these, three AK-47 rifles have been found in the boat found at Harihareshwar beach. The second boat has a life jacket and some documents. After this recovery, an alert was issued in the district. There was no person in the boat. Keeping in mind the 1993 Mumbai blasts and 26/11 terror attack, the administration is on full alert and investigation is being done.
