Mohali blast at Punjab Police Intelligence Headquarters
On Monday, Punjab Police Intelligence Headquarters in Mohali was attacked using a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG). Reports suggest by assessing the ammunition head, it was RPG-22. The warhead was launched at the HQ at around 8 PM by unidentified persons.
Mohali Superintendent of Police (HQ) Ravinder Pal Singh called it a ‘minor blast’ and said, “It’s a minor blast. The attack happened from outside the building. It has been done with rocket-type fire. No casualty or loss happened. Our senior officers and FSL team are investigating it.”
Notably, when asked if it was a terror attack, SP Singh said, “It can’t be ignored. We are investigating it.”
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann held a high-level meeting on the matter. He assured that the culprits would be captured soon.
