Gurdaspur, 19 December
Gangsters belonging to the Khalistan Zindabad Force last night blew up in the Bakhshiwal outpost under Kalanur police station. The incident is being investigated by the police.
Taking responsibility for the incident in a social media post, it has been said that the blast was carried out under the leadership of Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) Jathedar Bhai Ranjit Singh Jammu and Bhai Jaswinder Singh Baghi alias Monu Agwan. At the end of this post is the signature of ‘Fateh Singh Baghi’. It is to be noted that due to such continuous attacks, Gurdaspur police had closed many checkpoints. However, the Dostpur post located near the international border is still functioning. A senior official denied that the Bakhshiwal incident was an intelligence failure. It is to be noted that Bakhshiwal checkpoint was closed 15 days ago. With no security in or around it, these gangsters have targeted it.
DSP Gurwinder Singh Chandy, who was among the first to reach the spot, has denied the use of hand grenades. But later the authorities admitted that there was an explosion. Sources said that the police seized a suspected auto rickshaw. Investigators believe the grenade was thrown from inside the auto.
SSP Harish Dyama and DSP Chandy confirmed that the services of forensic experts and dog squad teams have been engaged.
