A hand grenade-like object was found in a lake in Latur district of Maharashtra on Saturday, police said.
Local people spotted the object at Shirur Tajband village in Ahmedpur tehsil and alerted police.
A team of Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad has reached the site, said a senior police official.
Police created a safety perimeter around it but they were yet to examine the object, he said.
"We are waiting for a bomb suit and we will get it from Nanded tomorrow morning. Then we will examine it," said Additional Superintendent of Police Himmat Jadhav.
