Three days after a motorcycle blast in Jalalabad, the Fazilka police on Saturday cracked the case with the arrest of suspect Parveen Kumar, who revealed the motorcycle carrying explosive material was to be placed in some crowded area in Jalalabad city.
Notably, Balwinder Singh, alias Bindu of Jhugge Nihanga Wale village, died in the blast in Jalalabad town around 8 pm on September 15. He had a criminal background. Following up on an input given by a farmer coupled with disclosures by Parveen, the police also recovered a tiffin bomb concealed in fields in his native village Dharmupura, which is just 3 km away from the Indo-Pak border. Pertinently, this is the fourth such tiffin bomb IED fabricated in a ‘Made in Pakistan’ children’s tiffin box— all bearing pictures of cartoon characters, recovered from the border state during the past 40 days.
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ferozepur Range, Jatinder Singh Aulakh said after finding the role of the suspect in hatching the conspiracy to blow up the motorcycle in a crowded area, the Fazilka police launched a probe into available clues and arrested Parveen on Saturday. He said during investigations, Parveen revealed the blast which happened on the motorcycle was being driven by Binder, and it was supposed to be parked in some crowded area.
