What Police Officials said
Deputy Superintendent of Police Dilbag Dhaliwal told the media that the control room got information that there was some personal problem. “Our Investigating officer saw broken glass here (at the spot). At the present moment, we cannot say anything. The forensic team has arrived. We have just lodged an FIR and just started an investigation.”
The impact of the blast shattered the glass windows of the club.
The police said the explosion took place outside De’orra, which is near the Sevillee bar and lounge. Both the restaurants are 30 metres away from each other. The crime spot is known for high-end nightclubs.
Police suspected the bombs were made by using potash that is used in firecrackers. Thin jute ropes were also recovered from the spot.
In September, the residence of a retired police officer in the posh area of Chandigarh, Sector 10, saw a low-intensity explosion. The grenade attack took place at around 5.30 pm on September 11 and due to the impact of the blast, windows and flower pots were damaged.
Punjab Police had arrested two accused in a joint operation with central agencies. They claimed that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed Pakistan-based terrorist Harwinder Singh alias Rinda of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and US-based Harpreet Singh alias Happy Passia masterminded the operation.
Badshah has yet to comment on the incident.
