Amritsar: At least three people were killed and ten injured in an explosion inside the Nirankari Bhavan at Adliwal village near Amritsar’s Rajasansi on Sunday, police said.
Initial reports said two armed, masked people on a motorcycle forced their way inside by brandishing pistol at a woman deputed at the gate. Once inside, they threw a hand grenade at the religious congregation and escaped.
Followers refused to allow mediapersons inside the Bhavan.
Punjab was on alert following an input claiming that a group of six to seven JeM terrorists were reportedly in the state, possibly in Ferozepur area.
The state was put on alert after four persons snatched a SUV from its driver at gunpoint near Madhopur in Pathankot district last week
