A rocket launcher-type weapon was fired at the Sarhali Police Station in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district on Saturday night. A US-based Khalistani outfit, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) have taken responsibility for the attack, News18 sources said.
Punjab State Police Chief Gaurav Yadav confirmed that an FIR has been registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and that they are not ruling out “cross border hand" in the attack. “Our enemy is doing cowardly attacks," he said.
According to preliminary investigation, a grenade was fired at around 11:22 PM last night and it hit the ‘Suvidha Centre’ of the police station, according to DGB.
The weapon could be a military-grade hardware and could have been smuggled from across the border, he added.
