Punjab: Low intensity blast at CIA Staff Nawanshahr at midnight, no injuries

NAWANSHAHR: A low intensity blast took place in the courtyard of the CIA Staff, Nawanshar during intervening night of Sunday and Monday. However, none was hurt. Apart from district police, Counter Intelligence sleuths and a team of state Forensic Science Laboratory also visited the blast site.
The blast took place in the CIA office compound located on Banga Road just before 12am. A water cooler and glass of the door of the CIA staff was broken. Nawanshahar SSP Kanwardeep Kaur said that there were five personnel inside the building.
“Nature of the blast can be confirmed only after examination as FSL team has also taken samples. We are carrying out investigation,” she said.
It is second instance in which a low intensity blast took place in a police station or office. Earlier four intensity blasts had taken place in Maqsudan police station Jalandhar in the late evening of September 14, 2018.
A head constable received a gash and glasses of window panes were broken. Police later arrested three accused hailing from Kashmir while claiming that two other involved in the case were killed in an encounter in J&K.
