Late last night, Grenade attack broke windows, raised security concerns for police station at Majitha in Amritsar, as Babbar Khalsa International, has now owned the responsibility by putting a social media post claiming Happy Passia, Gopi Nawanshahria and Jeewan Fauji were behind this dastardly attack.
Babbar Khalsa Threatens to Continue With Their Attacks
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh. We accept responsibility for the grenade attack on Majitha police station. This is a part of a series of retaliatory operations against Punjab Police and the government for running ‘goonda raj’ against Sikhs. Larger operations will follow. The fight is ongoing,,” said the group in a post.
Police deny the grenade attack claim
The police initially attributed the explosion to a tyre burst near the gate of the station. However, Babbar Khalsa’s claim contradicts this narrative and raises questions about the incident. The police still stand by their earlier explanation despite the revelation on social media.
