Chandigarh Explosion Outside Punjab BJP Office

An explosion occurred outside the Punjab BJP office in Chandigarh’s Sector 37 on April 1, 2026, raising serious security concerns. Khalistani terrorist Sukhjinder Singh Babbar claimed responsibility for the grenade attack, which took place around 5 pm.

According to reports, two individuals allegedly hurled a crude bomb or improvised explosive device (IED) before fleeing the scene. Fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported from the attack, although the blast caused damage to windowpanes of a car and two scooters.

Police teams cordoned off the area immediately after the explosion, and senior police officials, including SSP Kanwardip Kaur, visited the site to assess the situation. Kaur stated, “We received information at around 5 pm that an explosion-like sound was heard near the Punjab BJP office.”

Shrapnel fragments from the blast were recovered and are currently being examined as part of the ongoing investigation. A probe team from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) has been dispatched to collect evidence.

The incident has raised serious concerns due to its proximity to the party office. Vineet Joshi, a state BJP leader, described the incident as a serious concern, emphasizing that “a blast taking place near the party office is a matter of concern.”

This attack is linked to Khalistani terrorism and follows a recent police encounter involving a suspect in the killing of two policemen. The connection to Khalistani elements adds a layer of complexity to the investigation.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the identities of the attackers and their motives. The police are working diligently to gather more information and ensure the safety of the public in the aftermath of this incident.
