Two explosions occurred early this morning (November 26) outside a nightclub in Sector 26, Chandigarh, causing minor property damage. The blasts took place between 2:30 am and 2:45 am, triggered by a low-intensity device thrown by two suspects on a motorcycle.
Gangsters Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara, affiliated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the blasts via a social media post. According to their statement, the target was De’orra restaurant and Sevillee bar and lounge, both owned by rapper Badshah. The post also revealed that the gang had contacted the restaurant owners with an extortion demand, which went unanswered.
The blasts resulted in shattered window panes and minor structural damage to the targeted venues, as well as a nearby club. No casualties were reported. The Chandigarh Police have initiated an investigation to identify the suspects, with bomb detection squads and the Chandigarh Forensic Science Laboratory assisting at the scene.
Sources suggest the explosion was caused by homemade bombs, possibly intended for extortion purposes. Although the police have not confirmed whether the attack was a crude bomb attempt, the authorities are focusing on determining the cause.
Goldy Brar is a notorious gangster who previously claimed responsibility for the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, who was killed on May 29, 2022. Brar was declared a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in January 2024.
