An explosion took place outside a temple in Amritsar, damaging its walls and shattering its window panes, officials said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
While no one was hurt in the incident, it has caused panic among the residents in the Khandwala area of Amritsar.<\/p>\n
CCTV footage of the incident shows two unidentified persons coming to the Thakur Dwar temple on a motorcycle. After waiting for a few seconds, one of them throws some explosive material towards the temple and then they flee the spot.<\/p>\n
Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said police were informed about the incident around 2 am by the temple priest. He said he and other senior officials reached the spot.<\/p>\n
Mr Bhullar said police teams were trying to trace the men involved in the blast and added that they would soon be nabbed.<\/p>\n
A forensic team has collected samples from the spot, he said, adding that further investigation was underway.<\/p>\n
Notably, there have been many incidents of explosions targeting police posts in Amritsar and Gurdaspur in the past four months.<\/p>\n
