While the authenticity of these claims is yet to be verified, Chandigarh police have stated they are actively investigating the matter and reviewing the social media post in question. Senior officials have emphasised that no conclusions will be drawn until evidence corroborates the allegations.
Details of incident
The explosions, described as low-intensity, occurred around 4 am when two unidentified individuals on a motorcycle hurled crude explosive devices outside the establishments. Fortunately, there were no casualties or major property damage.
Initial reports indicate that the devices were constructed using potash mixed with firecracker materials, alongside thin jute ropes. Police have clarified that the crude devices cannot be classified as bombs, although they were deployed in substantial quantities to create a notable impact.
Police investigation
Authorities are analyzing CCTV footage from the vicinity and seeking eyewitness accounts to identify the suspects. Speaking about the materials used, a senior police officer stated, “It appears to be an attempt to create country-made bombs using locally available substances. The intention was likely to intimidate rather than cause serious harm.”
According to sources from the Chandigarh police, the incident cannot be classified as a bomb, as the substance used was potash with crackers, which was in a very large quantity. It said that an attempt was made to explode country-made bombs outside Chandigarh's nightclubs by using potash used in firecrackers. Some thin jute ropes were also recovered from the spot.
The nightclubs were closed at the time of the blasts, so it is believed that these blasts were carried out only to spread terror.
