LUDHIANA COURT BLAST,NARCO TERRORISTS BEHIND
(The Quiver) On December 23, Thursday, an explosion at the District and Sessions court complex in Ludhiana claimed the life of one person, while six others were injured.
Addressing to press conference regarding the bomb blast in Ludhiana court the director general of police (DGP) of Punjab , Siddharth Chattopadhya confirmed as cleared from initial investigations that at least 2kg of RDX (Royal Demolition explosive) was used in the Ludhiana court blast. The dismissed former cop Gagandeep Singh, is suspected to be the attacker, was indeed the one who carried explosives inside the court complex.
As quoted by Punjab DGP, “Gagandeep most probably met some people, including Khalistani elements and drug smugglers, while he was jailed. He had very good technical skills and initial inquiry reveals that he went inside the washroom to assemble the bomb’’.
“We have strong leads that Pakistan-based, pro-Khalistani narco-terrorists are behind the blast,” confirmed by DGP of Punjab.
Gagandeep Singh, who was killed in Thursday’s blast which also resulted in injuries to six others, was dismissed from service in 2019 in connection with a drugs case and spent two years in jail. He was released in September this year. The blast took place near the washroom on the second floor of the court complex.
According to sources, Gagandeep’s mobile phone exploded at the time of the blast. But he had a dongle through which he was using the internet. The NIA and Punjab Police suspect that he was taking information from someone online about assembling and activating the bomb.
