Following the blast, Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said that the "cowardly attack" was carried out by "enemy nation in the night to distract".
Talking to the media, Punjab DGP said, "This year, there have been around 200 drone crossings. In the last one month, several drones were intercepted, heroin and arms were seized. I believe that the enemy nation is rattled and is carrying out a cowardly attack in the night, to distract."
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday that stringent action will be taken against the culprits behind the low-intensity blast.
