Overview
- Two blast-like events near security bases in Jalandhar and Amritsar, reported Tuesday night, injured no one according to police.
- At Amritsar’s Khasa area, officers said an object was hurled at the boundary wall and forensics found shrapnel, pointing to a low‑intensity IED.
- In Jalandhar, a scooter outside the BSF Punjab Frontier headquarters blew up or caught fire after a loud bang, the 22-year-old owner had minor injuries, and samples went to labs for testing.
- DGP Gaurav Yadav said both incidents likely involved IEDs and suggested ISI-backed elements may be involved, while an online claim by a pro‑Khalistan group remains unverified as NIA and central forensic teams assist.
- Politics quickly escalated as Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann blamed the BJP and opponents rejected that charge, while investigators also weigh recent low‑intensity cases such as the April 27 rail‑track blast.
