Made-in-Pak weapon used in rocket-like attack on Punjab Police’s Mohali office
India Today
A Pakistan-made weapon was used in a rocket-like attack on the Punjab Police office in Mohali.
Investigations into the attack on the Punjab Police’s intelligence unit headquarters in Mohali have revealed Pakistan’s hand behind the explosion. A rocket-propelled grenade, or RPG, made in Pakistan was used in the attack, the police said.
The police have received information that the foot soldiers of Khalistani terrorist Harvinder Singh “Rinda”, who is currently in Pakistan, were lurking around the Punjab Intelligence Department’s building at the time of the blast. The evidence of this was found after a data dump of mobile phones was done, the police told India Today TV.
The Mohali Police have rounded up a number of suspects and questioned them in connection with the explosion. The launcher used in the attack has been recovered by the police and all the leads are being pursued meticulously.
Last night, a rocket-propelled grenade, or RPG, was fired at the Intelligence Wing headquarters of the Punjab Police in Mohali, triggering a blast that shattered windows and caused a portion of the false ceiling to collapse on impact. No injuries or casualties were reported.
The blast sparked a security scare in the border state, which has been witnessing massive and continuous drone deliveries of explosives, weapons and drugs from across the border.
