CHANDIGARH: An explosion in a residential colony on the Majitha Road Bypass in Punjab’s Amritsar city on Tuesday killed a man who was there to collect a “consignment”.
The police are probing a terror angle and suspect the man of being linked to a terrorist organisation.
The incident took place near Decent Avenue Colony on the Majitha Road Bypass.
Eyewitnesses heard a loud sound of the blast. As locals rushed to the spot and informed the police, officials from Sadar police station and a bomb disposal squad reached the spot.
Deputy Inspector General of Police (Border Range) Satinder Singh said, “The person who was injured is a member of a terrorist organisation, and he had come to retrieve the explosive consignment. We have received a lot of clues. Further investigation is underway. Babbar Khalsa and the ISI are active in Punjab and most likely, he is a member of Babbar Khalsa.”
