Explosion inside Ludhiana district court complex; 2 dead, 5 injured

According to reports, at least two people were killed and five others were injured in an explosion at the Ludhiana District Court Building near the police station office. The explosion occurred at around 12:22 pm in the bathroom on the second floor. There are eight courtrooms on the second floor of the building, but due to the strike of some lawyers, not many people were present on Thursday. The area has been cordoned off by the police and the courtroom is being vacated. One of the injured was identified as a supporter of RS Mand.

According to reports, lawyers are on strike, which is why fewer lawyers were present on Thursday than on any other day. It is not clear whether the explosion came from any cylinder, as there is also a court canteen on the second floor. However, because the explosion occurred in the toilet, the cylinder explosion may not occur.

Ludhiana Police Chief Gurpreet Singh Bhullar stated that the situation in the court building is now under control and there is no need to panic. “The sound of an explosion was heard near the recording studio on the second floor of the Ludhiana Court Building. The incident resulted in one death and two injuries. The bomb disposal team and the forensic team have been called from Chandigarh for investigation,” the chief of police said of ANI. Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi said he will go to Ludhiana. “I’m going to Ludhiana. As the parliamentary election approaches, some anti-national elements are doing this. The government is on alert. Those convicted will not be spared,” he said.

After the explosion in the district court, all government offices will now undergo thorough inspections during security inspections.

Former Chief Minister Captain Amarind Singh stated that Punjab police must find out the truth of the case. “The disturbing news about the explosion in the Ludhiana court building. I am deeply saddened to learn of the deaths of the two people. Pray for the recovery of the injured. Punjab police must thoroughly investigate this matter,” Amarind Singh (Amarinder Singh) tweeted.

The incident occurred after the blasphemy incident that shocked the state of the polls. On Saturday, a UP man was lynched to death for allegedly attempting to commit desecration in the temple of the Golden Temple. According to reports, the man jumped over the golden grill in the sanctuary, picked up a sword, and reached a place where a Sikh priest was reciting the sacred Guru Granth Sahib.

The explosion has raised questions about the safety of government buildings, as there have been reports of drones throwing weapons in Punjab.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
