AMRITSAR: After nearly two weeks of silence, another explosion occurred, targeting the house of a policeman in Raimal village in Batala police district, on Monday evening.
This is the twelfth blast targeting police posts and the first targeting the house of a police person since mid-November 2024.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Batala, Suhail Qasim Mir, confirmed that a loud sound was heard in Raimal village, which appears to have been caused by a low-intensity bomb. He said that it was not yet clear whether it was a grenade blast or some other form of explosive. “We are verifying what happened and investigating the cause to understand the exact situation,” said Qasim.
He also confirmed that the blast occurred near the house of a policeman.
Earlier, on the night of February 3, a blast occurred outside the boundary wall of the Fatehgarh Churian police chowki in Amritsar. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, loss of life, or damage to the police post, aside from a small crater on the road. eom
