New Delhi: A CCTV footage of the rocket-propelled grenade attack on the Punjab Police Intelligence headquarters in Mohali surfaced on the social media today. The intelligence installation was targeted by terror operatives on Monday.
The initial investigation found that the RPG was hurled from a near distance allegedly by some miscreants travelling in a car. After targeting the Intelligence headquarters, they fled the scene.
Now, the CCTV footage gives a whiff of the modus operandi. In the CCTV footage, regular vehicular traffic near the building is seen on the roads. Suddenly, there is a flash of bright light which illuminates the whole area briefly and impacts the cameras also.
A moving car be seen in the video, passing through the road at the time of impact however, their identity or face remains invisible. The galloping speed at which the car leaves the sensitive area gives enough hints of terror attack on the Intelligence headquarters.
