Amritsar, August 16

Panic gripped the posh locality of Ranjit Avenue in Amritsar on Tuesday after a “bomb” was allegedly kept beneath a Mohindra Bolero parked outside a park.

A bomb-disposal squad reached the spot and removed the bomb and took it for defusing to a safe place.

The police officials are, however, tight-lipped about the incident, which occurred outside the residence of a police official.

According to information, the police after checking a CCTV footage in the area found two bike-borne persons, including a Sikh youth, fitting the “bomb” beneath the vehicle in the wee hours.

The incident came to light when a man saw them and informed the local residents and the police.
