The Ferozepur police arrested two persons in connection with a blast that took place in the city area last month. The accused have been identified as Sukhwinder Singh, alias Sukha, a resident of Chandi Wala village and Sukeen Singh, a resident of Dharmu Wala village in Jalalabad.

SSP Rajpal Singh said during the investigation, the involvement of the two suspects came to the fore. “These two were involved in another incident in which they had set ablaze a car in the city area,” he said. “The accused have been booked under Sections 436, 427 and 34 of the IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908, at the City police station,” he said.
