Chandigarh, Jul 8 (PTI) A low-intensity blast took place at the Moga Sadar police station in Punjab's Moga district on Wednesday, but no one was injured, sources said. According to the police sources, unidentified persons hurled some object that caused the explosion in the police station complex, though there was no injury to anyone or damage to property. A high alert was sounded after the incident and efforts are on to nab the culprits. Asked if the object hurled could be a grenade, Senior Superintendent of Police Faridkot, Gurbans Singh Bains, who is also currently officiating as the SSP, Moga, said, "It is too early to comment". The officer confirmed that it was a low-intensity blast. "Forensic teams are collecting evidence. Once the forensic report comes, we will know about the nature of the object that was thrown," Bains told PTI over the phone. Police are also scanning CCTV footage collected from the area to identify the suspects. There have been many grenade attacks targeting police stations in Punjab in the past. PTI SUN RC
