Patna, April 7: A day after bombs and explosives were recovered in Bihar, two CRPF jawans on Monday were killed in IED blast at Dhibra police station in Aurangabad.

According to reports, blast took place when cops were trying to defuse the IED that was recovered late night.

A police official said two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and five CRPF troopers and four Bihar policemen were injured when the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) went off.

63 country - made bombs and five kilograms of explosives were seized during a raid in Bhagalpur late last night.
