Punjab Police have detained Nishan Singh, a resident of Faridkot, in connection with the Mohali RPG blast case, NDTV reported. Singh is suspected to have provided logistics to the people who attacked the intelligence wing building. A rocket-propelled grenade hit the Intelligence Wing headquarters of Punjab Police in Mohali on Monday night, shattering windowpanes on one of the floors of the building. The explosion took place at around 7.45pm.
The law enforcement is also suspecting the involvement of gangster-turned-terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda, who is believed to be in Pakistan. Rinda has been taking the help of local gangsters to carry out anti-national activities. His name figured when a terror plot was foiled recently with the arrest of four suspected Pakistan-linked terrorists in Haryana's Karnal. Rinda's involvement was also detected in a hand-grenade attack at the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) office in Nawanshahr last month.
The incident took place days after the arrest of the four suspected Pakistan-linked terrorists in Karnal and the arrest of two people that led to the recovery of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) packed with 1.5 kg RDX from Punjab's Tarn Taran district. The explosion also came close on the heels of the recovery of an explosive device near the Burail Jail in Chandigarh on April 24.
