Punjab: Two masked men seen planting 'bomb' in car outside cop's house in posh Amritsar area, incident caught on camera
Two masked men were seen planting a 'bomb' in car in Punjab's Amritsar on Tuesday. The suspicious item was recovered from the car parked near the posh locality of Ranjit Avenue in Amritsar.
The incident was caught on a CCTV camera wherein the two bike-borne persons can be seen fitting the 'bomb' beneath the vehicle in the wee hours.
A bomb-disposal squad reached the spot and removed the bomb and took it for diffusing to a safe place, Tribune reported.
Manish Chawla, IG Border Range said, "Information was received at PS Ranjit Avenue that someone had kept IED in the car of a Sub Inspector. Police recovered the IED and a forensic investigation of IED is being done. Further probe underway."
The 'bomb' was placed under Sub-inspector Dilbag Singh's car, who said, "My car cleaner informed me about it. CCTV footage shows two men putting something under my car at around 2 am. I have worked during militancy and that's why they kept it."
An FIR has been registered in the matter, he said. The incident came to light when a man saw them and informed the local residents and the police. The area has been cordoned off and further investigation is underway.
This comes day after the Punjab Police claimed to have busted a Pakistan ISI-backed terror module and arrested four persons.
