While Punjab Police on Tuesday solved the grenade attack case on Manoranjan Kalia's house in Jalandhar within 12 hours, a new CCTV footage of the incident has been accessed by True Scoop. In the new CCTV footage, the two attackers one driving an E-rickshaw, and another hurling a bomb can be seen clearly. The grenade thrown by the attacker landed straight near the entrance area where a car and bike were parked. As soon as the grenade landed, in no time, it horrifically exploded. Fortunately, there was no one standing at that time.

Special Director General of Police (Special DGP) Law and Order Arpit Shukla on Tuesday addressed a press conference and said, "Preliminary investigations have revealed a larger conspiracy orchestrated by Pakistan's ISI to disrupt communal harmony in Punjab. The plot was masterminded by Zeeshan Akhtar, a close associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and Pakistan-based ISI-sponsored gangster Shahzad Bhatti,” he said, while not ruling out the possible links of the accused with Pakistan-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) mastermind Harwinder Singh alias Rinda and gangster Happy Passia.
Special DGP Arpit Shukla accompanied by IGP Headquarters Dr Sukhchain Singh Gill, while addressing a press conference, said that police teams have also recovered an E-rickshaw used by the accused persons in executing the crime.
