Police Station Attacked in Punjab’s Tarn Taran, ‘Rocket Launcher’ Attack Suspected


The Sarhali Police Station in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district witnessed an attack on Saturday night. The attack is suspected to have happened from a “rocket launcher,” news18 sources said.

The incident took place at around 1 AM, and as of now no loss of life has been reported.

The attack has also damaged  windows of a nearby service centre.

This comes after a Rocket-Propelled Grenade (RPG) was fired at the Punjab Police’s Intelligence headquarters in Mohali on May 9, triggering a blast at the site.

Punjab Police have arrested the main accused Charat Singh in a joint operation with Central Agency and ATS Maharashtra. Singh was one of Lakhbir Singh Landa’s main associates and hailed from the Tarn Taran district.

The Punjab DGP hailed the arrest as a major breakthrough by the department and confirmed that Charat Singh was a key operative and associate of Canada-based BKI terrorist Lakhbir Singh.

Earlier this week, the Special Cell of the Delhi Police arrested the alleged mastermind – Lakhbir Singh Landa – in connection with RPG attack. The police said gangster Landa was also a resident of the Tarn Taran district and shifted to Canada in 2017.
