An explosion outside the Thakur Dwar temple in Amritsar caused damage to the temple’s walls and shattered its window panes, sparking panic among residents in the Khandwala area, officials confirmed on Saturday.
While no injuries were reported, CCTV footage captured two unidentified individuals arriving at the temple on a motorcycle. After pausing momentarily, one of them hurled an explosive device towards the temple before both fled the scene.
Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar stated that police were alerted to the incident around 2 AM by the temple priest. Senior officials promptly arrived at the site, and police teams have been deployed to trace the suspects. “They will be nabbed soon,” assured Mr. Bhullar.
A forensic team has collected evidence from the blast site, and further investigations are underway.
This incident follows a string of explosions in Amritsar and Gurdaspur over the past four months, many of which have targeted police posts, raising concerns about security in the region.
