Patna > Two bombs were found from the Bodh Gaya pilgrimage centre on Friday following a small explosion-like sound. This happened amidst stringent security measures in view of the Dalai Lama's stay. 'The bombs were found from the vicinity of the Kalachakra ground during an intensive combing operation by a police team led by DIG (Patna Range) Vinay Kumar,' Inspector General of Police (IGP), Patna Zone, N H Khan said.
A suspicious object was recovered near gate 4 of Maha Bodhi temple in Bihar's Bodh Gaya. That was said to be a thermos by a police official. Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama had arrived in Bodh Gaya on January 1 and he is likely to stay there for a month.
A host of VIPs, including Bihar Governor Satya Pal Malik Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Hollywood actor Richard Gere have visited Bodh Gaya recently to receive blessings from the Buddhist monk. Significantly, in 2013, the Maha Bodhi temple, situated on the spot where Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment, was rocked by a series of explosions in which five people, including two monks were injured
