The police in Punjab’s Ferozepur said Tuesday a suspicious object, which appeared like a pocket transistor, was spotted on the wall of a station in the city.
According to officials, the anti-bomb disposal squad was immediately informed about the device, but personnel stationed at the Ferozepur city police station destroyed it using bricks.
This comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s scheduled visit to Mohali in the state on August 24. Officials said security has been strengthened in the area and an investigation is underway.
Station House Officer Mohit Dhawan said a sand wall was erected near the area where the object was spotted as a matter of safety.
This will be the PM’s first visit to Punjab after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) came to power in the state. PM Modi had last come to Punjab’s Ferozepur on January 5 when he had to return following a major security breach.
Weapons seized from Pak border
The Border Security Force (BSF) said Tuesday they have seized weapons, including assault rifles, from the Pakistan border. Six magazines, two weapons of AK series, and two M3 submachine guns along with four magazines and two pistols and two magazines were seized.
The BSF has not ruled out the possibility of weapons being smuggled in from across the border. Further investigation is on, the BSF said.
