TARN TARAN,
A ROCKET-PROPELLED grenade was fired at a police station in Punjab’s border district of Tarn Taran, the second such attack in the state in the last seven months with DGP Gaurav Yadav on Saturday describing it as a “strategy of the neighbouring nation to bleed India by a thousand cuts”.
There was no casualty in Friday night’s RPG attack in which windowpanes of a building adjoining the Sarhali police station were damaged, officials said. According to preliminary information, it was a military-grade hardware, the DGP said, adding it was suspected to have been smuggled from across the border.
“There is a clear indication that it is a strategy of the neighbouring nation to bleed India by a thousand cuts,” the DGP said pointing to Pakistan which has been sponsoring terrorism in India. In coordination with the BSF and central agencies, the Punjab Police will investigate the matter, he said. Some unidentified people fired the projectile which hit the Saanjh Kendra adjoining the Sarhali police station.
