Ludhiana, October 18
The police on Thursday raided the hideouts of Gurpreet Singh, a suspect in the recent cinema hall blast here which killed six persons and injured 32 others.
The suspect with a terrorist background has been on the run since September two last when his car carrying 3.5kgs of RDX, a 50-metre wire, a detonator, iron pipes and sockets was intercepted by the police on the Ludhiana-Ferozepur National Highway.
Gurpreet had abandoned the vehicle and disappeared by hoodwinking the police party.
Police intensified their search for Gurpreet when forensic teams found traces of RDX in the blast at a cinema hall here.
The raids conducted today have not yielded any clues to Gurpreet’s whereabouts so far, they said. However, efforts are on to track him down with a large number of his friends and family members being questioned, they added.
