1} 02 April 1993

We were specially requested by the Police Commissioner of Thane to recover the Deadly
and highly explosives "RDX" and "Gelatin", weighing 2,680 kgs. from the bottom of the
Nagla Bunder, near Thane, Maharashtra, India, which, if would have been used by the
underworld, would have blown-up entire Mumbai (Bombay), Thane and half of Navi
Mumbai (New Bombay) into ashes.
-----------> as stated by the then Police Commissioner of Thane in the press release.

On spreading the news all over the world of recovering RDX and Gelatin by us, the Indian
Expatriates in the New Jersey collected donations and sent to us a full set of SCUBA Diving
