Explosion at Sadar Police Station
A low-intensity explosion rocked the Sadar police station in Moga district, Punjab, on Wednesday evening, prompting an immediate high alert across the area. According to sources, suspects riding on the Moga-Ferozepur highway allegedly hurled an explosive device — suspected to be a hand grenade — at the police station building from outside before fleeing the scene.
Official Confirmation After Hours of Silence
Breaking hours of official silence, Gurbans Singh Bains, officiating SSP of Moga, confirmed the incident. Speaking to The Tribune, SSP Bains described it as a “low-intensity blast” and assured that specialised forensic teams are probing the site from all angles. Preliminary reports indicate that there were no casualties and no major structural damage to the building.
Immediate Security Response
Immediately after the blast, senior police officials rushed to the spot to secure the area. Given the gravity of an attack on a key law enforcement establishment, the main gates of the Sadar police station have been closed to the public and the premises cordoned off. A forensic science team was called in to examine the entrance, compound perimeter, and the area facing the highway. Experts are collecting shrapnel, explosive residue, and other technical evidence to determine the nature of the device used.
Heightened Security Across Moga
Security has been strengthened at all key installations, government buildings, and entry-exit points along the Moga-Ferozepur road. Police are scanning CCTV footage from the highway to identify the suspects. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses. The district remains on high alert, with additional patrols and checkpoints deployed to prevent any further incidents.
