During a marriage procession in Pathankot, Punjab, an unknown individual appeared and bombed a grenade in front of the Pathankot supreme court. After this incident took place, every police station and individual have been placed on red alert. This has been done so that even if there is a terrorist in hiding, he or she will get caught eventually. Fortunately, none of the citizens nor the Police staff members were injured. However, the local police did discover several shrapnels. The police in response have filed the case as an “ACT of terrorism” under Explosives Act.
So far, the CID, Counter Intelligence, and the Local Police are collaborating and cooperating with each other, to uncover the reason behind this apparent threat attack and whoever played the main hand in designing it. So far, according to the police, the use of grenades depicts the risk of terrorism present in the state of Punjab. On further investigation of the surrounding places, it was seen that some individuals were participating in suspicious activity.

Earlier back in 2016, a similar but vicious attack took place in the army airport of Pathankot. During this time 6 terrorists infiltrated the base and caused havoc. The local police are doing whatever they can to prevent the same incident from happening again. In the previous event, Hizbul Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attack. However, this time around no terrorist organization has stepped forward to claim responsibility. The CID said they will look into the CCTV footage that captured bits and parts of the incident. This could play a big part in revealing the individual’s identity who tried committing a heinous crime. Furthermore, the investigation is carried through by following factual evidence and reasoning. According to Counterintelligence, no one has been arrested so far. However, they will carry on the investigation by probing the CCTV footage thoroughly.
