JAMMU, Feb 23: An alert railway police patrol today averted a possible tragedy by laying hands on an abandoned bag which contained 10 highly explosive grenades,
The accused, who had dropped the bag, was also said to have been identified by police with the help of a close circuit television (CCTV) camera.

were being made to take him into custody, the sources added. Sources said it was being ascertained if some army jawan had stolen the grenades from his unit to take them home.
