Punjab DGP flags possible Pakistan link behind twin explosions 

AMRITSAR: After Punjab witnessed two back-to-back explosions in Jalandhar and Amritsar, Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav on Wednesday said that Pakistan's ISI appears to be attempting to disturb the situation in the state ahead of Operation Sindoor's first anniversary.

Addressing a press conference, DGP Yadav said, "Today I visited Amritsar to inspect the scene of the low-intensity explosion that occurred in the army area yesterday. Following my visit to the crime scene, I met with Army authorities to discuss mutual security concerns. Subsequently, I held meetings with senior officers of the Amritsar Commissionerate and the border range to review the security situation and issue directions."

At around 10:50 p.m. on Tuesday, information was received about a low-intensity blast near the boundary wall of the Khasa Army Camp. This came just two hours after an explosion near the BSF headquarters in Jalandhar.

He further stated that senior Punjab Police officials, including the SSP of Amritsar Rural, immediately reached the spot, while bomb disposal squads and forensic teams from the Border Security Force were also deployed.

"The area was thoroughly sanitised, and exhibits and samples were collected for scientific examination. An FIR has been registered under the relevant sections of the law, and the investigation is proceeding in close coordination with the army and other agencies. We are gathering input from all sources," DGP Yadav said.
