Chandigarh, May 6
In complete contradiction to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s charge that the BJP was behind the blasts in Jalandhar and Amritsar, Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav, speaking before media cameras, categorically pointed towards Pakistan’s ISI. Detailing his visit to the Amritsar blast site, Yadav said, “Today I visited Amritsar. Yesterday, a low-intensity explosion took place in the army area. I visited that crime scene. A low-intensity explosion was reported from the boundary wall of the army camp located at Khassa cantonment. After that, senior officers of Punjab Bomb Disposal Squads, Punjab Police and Forensic Experts were called to the spot, and after sanitising the area completely, samples from the exhibits were collected for scientific examination. An FIR has been registered under the relevant sections of law. Investigation is being carried out in close coordination with the Army and other agencies. Multiple teams are working on this. They are investigating human intelligence, technical intelligence, and forensic inputs.” He further went on saying, “We suspect that because of the anniversary of carrying out Operation Sindoor, we assume this is a part of Pakistan’s ISI designs to cause disruptions in Punjab.”
