As investigations continue into Saturday's deadly explosion in Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua district that killed over 90 people, the police have recovered 69 detonators from a godown owned by the brother of the accused who is on the run.

Rajendra Kasawa, who the police are looking for, had stocked explosives (nearly 100 gelatine sticks) for his mining business at a shop, adjacent to the restaurant, which triggered off a series of blasts in Petlawad town in Jhabua district, reports NDTV. He reportedly had license to use the explosives but had stored them at the shop illegally. The police have sealed the godwon last evening.

The state government has announced a reward of Rs. one lakh on any information leading to his arrest, according to the report.
