Breaking: Twin blasts near security sites in Jalandhar & Amritsar trigger probe

Panic gripped parts of Punjab after two back-to-back explosions were reported in the key cities of Jalandhar and Amritsar, both occurring near high-security installations. The first blast took place close to the Border Security Force headquarters in Jalandhar, where an explosion was reported in a scooter allegedly linked to a delivery worker. Shortly after, another blast occurred outside an Army camp in the Khasa area of Amritsar, intensifying security concerns across the region. Initial reports suggest no major casualties or damage, but the nature and timing of the explosions have raised serious questions among security agencies. Authorities are investigating whether the incidents were accidental or part of a larger conspiracy. CCTV footage from the Jalandhar blast has surfaced, showing a scooter parked near the site before it suddenly caught fire following the explosion. A person seen standing nearby managed to escape moments after the blast. The delivery worker associated with the scooter, along with another individual, is currently being questioned by the Punjab Police. Officials confirmed that multiple angles are being examined, including the possibility of sabotage. Inputs are also being gathered from the Border Security Force to piece together the sequence of events. Given the sensitive locations targeted, security has been heightened across Punjab. Investigators are working to determine the exact cause, while officials urge calm as more details are expected to emerge soon.
