The police said that it was a Rocket Propelled Granade (RPG) attack. The police also said that they have registered a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

Later, the Khalistani Militant outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) claimed responsibility for the attack.

Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav, speaking to reporters after taking stock of the situation here said, “An RPG has hit the Police Subidha Centre. An FIR under UAPA has been registered.”

“The forensic team has also arrived at the spot. We are connecting all loose ends to reconstruct what happened,” he added.

He said that there is a clear indication of a strategy of foreign elements to bleed India through thousand cuts.

“We’ll investigate SFJ’s claim. We’ll investigate all angles & theories. Handlers & operators in Pakistan, elements they’re in touch within Europe, North America & their links are being probed so that real perpetrators are arrested soon,” he said.
