Mohali, May 13
Clearing the air surrounding the firing of a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) at the Punjab Police’s intelligence office here on May 9, police officials today confirmed it was launched from a stationary position and not a moving car.
“It is highly improbable that an RPG can be fired from a car, let alone a moving one. The backfire and impact is such that can’t be done without harming the occupants,” said a Punjab Police official who is part of the investigation.
Sources said investigators had recovered metal parts and traces of explosive near a brick stack in a parking lot. The police are still aggressively searching for the CCTV footage in the nearby areas.
In the available footage, the grenade seemed to have been fired from a moving car. However, the police said the CCTV footage presented a distorted view of the incident.
