In September, the residence of a retired police officer in the posh area of Chandigarh's Sector 10, saw a low-intensity explosion. The grenade attack took place at around 5.30 pm on September 11 and due to the impact of the blast, windows and flower pots were damaged. Punjab Police had arrested two accused in a joint operation with central agencies. They claimed that Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed Pakistan-based terrorist Harwinder Singh alias Rinda of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and US-based Harpreet Singh alias Happy Passia masterminded the operation.
