Petrol bomb hurled at BJP leader's clinic in Bathinda ahead of CM Mann's visit
PTC News Desk: Ahead of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's Bathinda visit and subsequent heightened security measures, a petrol bomb was hurled at homoeopathic clinic on Mela Ram Road here on Monday night.
No casualties or injuries were reported however some plants and a scooty parked in the courtyard were damaged.
The clinic is run by BJP leader Dr. Tarsem Garg, whose family recently switched allegiance from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). It is located just opposite the recently inaugurated Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office.
Garg said, “Two employees were present at the clinic when the attack took place. They informed me over the phone that a blast had occurred and that they had extinguished the fire. After reaching the clinic and watching the CCTV footage, I found that two persons had lit a petrol bomb and hurled it at the premises. Senior police officers visited the spot, and I hope swift action will be taken.”
SP (City) Narinder Singh said, “We received information that two unidentified youths had thrown a petrol bomb at the clinic in Vishal Nagar. We inspected the spot, cordoned off the area and launched a search operation. Various teams are working on the case. We have some leads, but it would not be appropriate to disclose them at this stage.”
