A 15-foot-long Brahmos missile Ejectable first state solid propellant booster engine was discovered in a field in Bandhanau village, Bikaner district, Rajasthan, sparking widespread panic and concern among local residents. The debris, found in the field of farmer Ramprasad Joshi, has raised alarm in the region, with villagers reporting a bright flash in the sky followed by a loud explosion late Tuesday night.
According to local media reports, the incident caused an immediate stir in nearby villages, including Momasar, Udrasar, and Suranjasar, where an atmosphere of fear and speculation has taken hold. The missile shell, which appears to be military-grade, was found lying on the sandy terrain of the field, showing signs of impact with visible damage to its structure. The object’s cylindrical shape, metallic components, and sheer size suggest it could be a remnant of a larger missile system, though its exact origin and type remain unconfirmed.
The discovery in Bikaner comes amidst heightened regional tensions, especially given the proximity of Rajasthan to the India-Pakistan border. The bright flash and explosion reported by villagers indicate that the shell may have been part of an aerial incident, possibly involving military activity.
Local authorities have not yet released an official statement, but the presence of such a large missile shell in a civilian area raises serious questions about airspace safety and military operations in the region. The panic among villagers underscores the need for transparency and swift action from officials to investigate the incident, identify the missile’s origin, and ensure the safety of residents. As investigations proceed, the people of Bandhanau and surrounding villages remain on edge, awaiting answers about the mysterious and unsettling event.
