Late-Night Grenade Attack on BJP Leader Manoranjan Kalia’s House

A late-night grenade attack occurred at the residence of former Punjab minister and BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia in Jalandhar. The entire incident was captured on CCTV. The attackers arrived at the location on an e-rickshaw.

Within 12 hours, the police arrested two suspects. The accused have been identified as Ravinder Kumar, a resident of Subhana Road, Garha Jalandhar, and Satish alias Kaka, a resident of Bhargava Camp Jalandhar. Authorities have seized the e-rickshaw used in the attack, and a search is underway for its driver.

According to the police, the attack is believed to have been orchestrated by Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, with the aim of disturbing religious harmony in Punjab. Notably, a 24-hour PCR team was stationed just 50 meters from the site of the attack, and Police Station Division No. 3 was located only 100 meters away.
