According to the police, the owner has claimed that two persons in an auto-rickshaw hurled a grenade. An investigation to ascertain the cause of the blast is underway, they said.
On receiving information about the blast around 5.30 pm, Chandigarh Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kanwardeep Kaur and other police officials reached the house to take stock of the situation.
The bomb detection squad, anti-gangster task force and a forensic team reached the spot. “There was a loud sound. Some pressure type low-intensity blast took place because of which some windows and pots were damaged,” Kaur said.
The SSP said the complainant told them that two persons came in an auto-rickshaw and hurled a “grenade” at the house. “The complainants were sitting on their porch. They saw the suspects,” the police officer said, adding that efforts were on to trace the vehicle.
Visuals of the explosion and the auto-rickshaw were captured on a CCTV camera installed in the area. The SSP said they are investigating if any personal enmity could be the reason behind the incident.
