About the blast
Preliminary investigations suggest that crude bombs were used in the attack. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The blasts took place around 4 am when two individuals arrived on a bike and threw the bombs near the club before fleeing the scene.
The explosions shattered the club's glass windows, and police teams, including forensic experts, arrived on-site to conduct investigations.
According to media reports, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Dilbag Dhaliwal, said that the control room received information about a 'personal problem'. "Our Investigating officer saw broken glass at the spot. At the present moment, we cannot say anything. The forensic team has arrived. We have just lodged an FIR and just started an investigation."
The two clubs where the blasts took place are 30 metres away from each other. Also, the area where the incident took place is known for high-end nightclubs. Thin jute ropes were also recovered from the spot.
Badshah has not reacted to the blasts yet.
