Sources said, the drive started soon after some criminals blasted 3-4 bombs in a field near Gangni bus stand in Meherpur. Panicked people at the bus stand fled the area after the blasts. Police said they arrested 32 people from the area and recovered two shutter guns and about half a kilogram gunpowder in an abandoned state from a field at Kazipur.
