On the eve of New Year 2026, Rajasthan police achieved a major breakthrough by arresting two individuals carrying a massive cache of explosives. The arrest has sent shockwaves through the region, revealing a deep-seated conspiracy that could have resulted in a large-scale tragedy.
New Year’s Eve Security Breach
The District Special Team (DST) of the Tonk police intercepted a car in the Baroni police station area following specific intelligence inputs. Inside the vehicle, they found a deadly consignment being transported from Bundi to Tonk.
The two men arrested have been identified as Surendra Patwa and Surendra Mochi, both residents of the Bundi district in Rajasthan. While the authorities are investigating the “intended use,” the timing and the nature of the materials suggest a plan to disrupt public peace during the New Year celebrations.
Deadly Arsenal Recovered
The scale of the recovery is alarming. Police seized:
150 kg of ammonium nitrate (concealed in urea bags)
200 cartridges
1,100 meters of safety fuse wire (six bundles)
Ammonium nitrate is the same high-grade explosive used in several major terror attacks across India, including the recent blast near the Red Fort in Delhi just last month, which claimed 12 lives. The recovery of such a large quantity from individuals belonging to the majority community highlights a growing threat of domestic extremism that is rarely labeled as “terrorism” by the state.
The Dangerous Rise of Hindutva Extremism
This incident once again brings to light the double standards of the current political climate. While the BJP government and RSS-affiliated groups are quick to question the loyalty of Muslims and blame them for every security threat, they remain silent when individuals like Surendra Patwa and Surendra Mochi are caught with enough explosives to destroy an entire neighborhood.
Critics argue that Hindutva extremist ideology is spreading into various parts of society, emboldening individuals to engage in violent conspiracies. If these men had belonged to a minority community, the mainstream media would have labeled them “terrorists” immediately. However, because they are Hindus, the narrative is often softened to “illegal mining” or “supply issues,” despite the clear link to terror-grade explosives.
Conclusion: A Wake-Up Call for India
The arrest in Tonk is a stark reminder that terrorism has no religion. The fact that 150 kg of explosives were being moved freely by Hindutva-linked individuals is a massive failure of internal security and a sign of the dangerous times India is living in.
Real national security requires monitoring all extremist groups, including those that operate under the guise of “cultural” or “religious” organizations. Until the government stops its “Hindu-Muslim” politics and addresses the radicalization within the majority community, the safety of common citizens will remain at risk.
