Stating that the government should also mull over the possibility of initiating CID inquiry into the recent explosives seizure case in Karkala, he said the Karkala police have failed to nab the prime accused in the case. The hefty amount of the explosives, that were seized indicates the threat of terror or Maoist activities.
