After the arrest of Shrikant Pangarkar, a former Shiv Sainik from Jalna, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) investigating a right-wing terror plot has now turned its focus on another ex-corporator from the same town. The ATS spent five hours searching the Jalna farmhouse of a former BJP corporator, now with the NCP. The agency has not released the name of the politician or arrested him yet. The cops were looking for clues of bomb assembly, based on the interrogation of Pangarkar.

The ex-corporator's farmhouse in located in the interiors of Jalna district, and cops believe that it may have been used not just to assemble bombs but also for target practice by the suspected shooters of three rationalists in Maharashtra and Karnataka.
