Mohali blast: Man who helped attackers detained with two other suspects

The Punjab Police has detained a Faridkot resident, who is a suspect in the Mohali rocket launcher explosion.

The suspect, identified as Nishan Singh, allegedly provided logistics support to the attackers. Two more persons have been detained in Punjab in connection with the case.

A rocket-propelled grenade was fired at the Intelligence Wing HQ of Punjab Police in Mohali on Monday, triggering a security scare in the border state.

Sources told India Today that two suspects arrived in a white Swift Desire car and launched the RPG from about 80 meters away from the intelligence office building. While investigating the matter, police found a dump of nearly 7,000 mobile phones from three mobile phone towers close to the scene of the blast.

The rocket launcher was recovered from a spot just 1 km from the Mohali Intelligence Bureau. It is a Russia-made RPG 22. The weapon was recovered on Tuesday evening near the Radha Soami Satsang Ghar along the road dividing Sector 76 and 77.Live TV.
