Explosion at house in Chandigarh’s upscale Sector 10, grenade attack suspected
Hindustan TimesPanic gripped Chandigarh’s posh Sector 10 area on Wednesday evening as two persons in an autorickshaw lobbed an explosive, suspected to be a hand grenade, in the front verandah of a house here. UT senior superintendent of police Kanwardeep Kaur, in a statement, said, “A pressure blast occurred in House No 575 of Sector 10 that caused a loud sound. Further investigation is on.” As per sources, a retired Punjab superintendent of police Jaskirat Singh Chahal was the possible target of the attack, as he resided on the first floor of the house about two years ago. In October last year, the State Special Operation Cell of Punjab Police had arrested four members of terror module backed by Pakistan-based terrorist Harwinder Singh Rinda who had allegedly been tasked with eliminating the SP.
