Police said on Saturday that an impressive grenade attack on the Thakurdwara temple in Amritsar's Khandwala area was recorded by the CCTV around midnight on Saturday. Reports confirmed that no injuries were caused as a result of the explosion, which occurred about 12:35 a.m. very early in the morning when everybody was sleeping on March 14-15.
CCTV footage shows two young men on a motorcycle carrying a flag. They briefly stopped outside the temple before hurling an object toward the premises. Moments later, a powerful explosion rocked the area as the attackers fled. The temple priest escaped unhurt, who was inside at that time.
Gursidak and Vishal, the suspects involved in the grenade attack at Amritsar, were engaged in an encounter by the police today in Rajasansi. Accused Gursidak had to succumb to the bullet injury he had suffered during the encounter.
Police say that when SHO Chheharta attempted to stop a motorcycle on which the accused were riding along, they alighted from their bike and opened fire on the police party. Head Constable Gurpreet Singh received a gunshot wound to his left arm, while Inspector Amolak Singh was also struck by a bullet. In the Rajasansi area, on Monday, Gursidik Singha was injured in a shootout with the police in Bal Sachander village close to Sri Guru Ramdas International Airport. He was taken to a civil hospital, and later he died. His accomplice, Vishal, however, managed to escape and police are on the lookout for him.

The grenade attack is alarming the local community. It has made residents fear for their safety. The police acted immediately as a relief. However, one suspect is still at large, which is worrisome for many. Local leaders are asking everyone to be on their toes and help the police.
The killing of one suspect in the Grenade attack that took place at Amritsar temple underlines Punjab Police's commitment to maintain public safety. Their swift action has reassured many, but what should not be forgotten is that the second suspect was able to escape - that means the battle is still on. This calls for becoming more vigilant and conducting the search, as the hunt for the other suspect has to continue immediately. The safety of the community is reinforced by active participation. It should keep an eye on the spaces by reporting anything suspicious to law exposure so that it concentrates. Punjab must work together to obstruct further attacks or ensure permanent peace in the region.
